CASE STUDY: JOEL
Joel, aged four, is always happy to help tidy up at nursery, is also keen to share and will happily hand over a toy that he is playing with if another child wants it. Everyone talks about how kind and helpful he is and comments on what a good boy he is.
He is very focused on the adults in the setting and often tries to second guess what they need before they have asked for it, frequently trying to please them and offering to help. He regularly struggles to express, or even know, what he wants, and if asked to choose a book or toy will just look at the other children or respond with a shrug.
