Question 15: You are required to read through the case study and complete the blank parts of the behavioural management plan. Case Study: Alex is 4 years old. He has been at the centre for a few months, and has been spoken to a number of times about his behaviour towards other children. Mary, the lead educator, has been advised that another incident took place in the morning where Alex hurt another child because they wanted to play with him. Mary has been in contact with Alex's mother in the past regarding other incidents and has scheduled another appointment for later this afternoon. Together with the other educators who were in the room at the time of the incident, Mary has begun to fill in the behaviour management plan to discuss and collaborate with Alex's mother when she comes in later that afternoon. Part of the plan has already been completed; you are only required to complete the blank spaces.
