The positive guidance approach is a classroom management tool that Early Childhood Educators use to create a safe and inviting learning environment while focusing on producing desirable behaviors in children. Using the information introduced in this week's lesson, read the Guidance Approach Scenario below and answer the corresponding questions in a well-constructed narrative 250-500 words in length:

Guidance Approach Scenario

Julia is a sociable three-year-old who loves arts and crafts. She is an only child and sometimes she has difficulty sharing with the other children in the childcare center.Recently, during free time at the center, Julia decided to color in one of her favorite coloring books. After 5 minutes of coloring, Julia put the crayons and the coloring book down so she could use the bathroom. When she came back, Lisa was using the crayons and the coloring book that Julia had been using. The two girls began pulling on the book and getting angry.

Based on this scenario and what you have learned this week, please answer the following prompts in your narrative:

• Explain the correct solution to this scenario based on the positive guidance approach. Justify your rationale using specific components of the guidance approach.
• Identify and detail some possible incorrect responses to this scenario that are not in accordance with the positive guidance approach. Use your knowledge of the guidance approach and the components of the approach to guide your answer.
• Summarize your understanding of the guidance approach as a whole (not just the components relevant to this scenario). Analyze how you will use the approach in your career.
