(Unit 4) Topic 3: Family and Community Partnerships

3 Clock Hours of Early Childhood Education

Transitions: Scenario

​Topic 3 Page 16

​A young mother rushes through the doors of the ABC Child Care Center located in the inner city. She is struggling to hold her nine-month-old, Jason, his diaper bag and her purse. Jason is clinging with both arms to his mother and is crying softly. They arrive at the infant room.

Ms. Carol says, “Hi Ms. Jenson, it looks like you have a lot on your hands this morning. Let me help you.”

​The infant teacher takes the diaper bag and the purse. “Mornings can be stressful and I can see that Jason loves being held by you. At this age, children are really learning to express their emotions and it can be hard to let go of mom.”
​​“Yes, it has been a busy morning. I am running late for work and I miss being able to hold him a little longer.” The mother looks at Jason and says, “Mommy loves you and will be back at the end of the day. Ms. Carol is going to take good care of you.”

​Ms. Carol holds her arms out, smiles and says, “Good morning, Jason.” Jason goes to her and looks back at his mother. “Let’s walk mom to the door.” Ms. Carol sings quietly to Jason as they wave at mom. Jason settles into her embrace.

​The teachers sensitive and comforting response to both the mother and child is creating a foundation for sound relationships. By recognizing and empathizing with the parent’s situation, she is expressing respect and building a foundation of trust. Because of this, the mother may be more likely to ask this teacher for advice in the future. The teacher used this opportunity to express some developmental norms by stating that children at this age may typically have a hard time separating. This teacher clearly has a goodness of fit with this child, as she used a quiet, responsive tone. This simple daily experience helps to create a supportive environment that fosters social and emotional health.
