Task. 1
b) Ensure children are adequately clothed.
The clothes that children wear can affect the development of their self-help skills and independence.
Oliver (2.9) comes running out of the bathroom in you early childhood service, crying. He is unable to undo his overalls and has wet his pants.
What would you do and why ? * I would firstly comfort and reassure Oliver.
