The art therapy session is held every Tuesday at a small space in the gym. When the intern picked her up from her class, she did not look the intern and walked fast to the art therapy room. At the room, she stated that she had a “worst day at everywhere.” The intern checked in with her, but she did not share in detail. A sample of a doll and art materials were provided. Cindy asked the intern if she can take it to home, and the intern reminded her the rules. She did not respond and began to make the doll without words. Cindy appeared to be unmotivated to do art but followed the direction. In the process, Cindy required an assistance of the intern because of her clumsy hand movement. While the intern helped her, she expressed the feeling of frustration. She often mentioned “you do it… you are much better than me... you make it

Talin displayed a visibly positive and social affect when he arrived this morning. He smiled often and was socially appropriate when interacting with staff and peers. I went over Talin’s schedule with him for today and then allowed him to choose an activity for some independent leisure. Talin spent some time writing in his notebook, and putting together a puzzle. Before heading out for the day, Talin was given a couple of visual options to choose from to determine what activity he preferred to do first. Talin first chose to go to Bowling.

In the pediatrician’s office that I work, there is a playroom for the children of parents that came to bring a sibling to the office. I work there at this playroom taking care of the children in this playroom. I often observe how the parents, usually the mother, interact with their children, and also how the children act when the mother needs to leave the room and when they come back. It was not until this week that I was able to name the interactions and to understand what is behind the children reactions. This week, in my developmental psychology class I learned about an experiment developed by Mary Ainsworth called ‘Strange Situation’ (Belsky, 2013, p. 115). In this experiment, a mother and a child enters a play room like the one that I work, and after the child is playing with the toys, a stranger comes in and interact with the child; after a while the mother leaves the room, the same way the mothers at the pediatrician’s office leave the playroom; after some minutes the mother returns and the stranger leaves the room; a couple of minutes after the child is situated again and playing, the mother leaves again leaving the child alone, and returns after another couple of minutes (Belsky, 2013, p. 115). While the researchers observed the children, their interaction with their mothers, and their reactions to the situations through a one-way mirror (Belsky, 2013, p. 115), I observed as the stranger that is in the room interacting with the child.

There are different articles that review the “team nursing care model” approach .For the purpose of this paper I would like to begin with the article “championing a team: reviewing the role of team composition, context and trust on nursing team performance,” as stated in Australian Journal of Sustainable Business and Society “In order to successfully perform tasks, there needs to be a proper mix of team composition in terms of team knowledge and team skills. Also, the team must work in a good surrounding through a positive team context.(2016, p, 50). In this article the roles of the team members are described and elaborated on discussing the makeup of the team and the how it applies to patient outcomes. As stated in AJSBS,” team nursing allows better communication and enhances accuracy in decision-making processes” (p, 51). The team as a whole have different attributes and skills that develop an efficient team. There are four factors that are addressed , team performance, team composition, team context, team trust. Each factor expands on the roles in the team. Team performance being one factor is as stated in AJSBN “. Team performance is a result of team members’ engagement in task work and teamwork processes that involve activities in completing a task, through collective integration, synthesis, and sharing of information” (p, 51). Team composition is required to have a blend of team members that have collective knowledge, expertise and skills, as stated

Brenda and April found dolls and kitchen items to play with. While Codi found different hats to try on. All of their play changed because they interacted with different materials. Ms. Brittany provided more than enough props for them from the mirrors, dolls, stroller, cash register, flowers, and so much more. Because of this large variety, the children were able to keep playing and their play was not interrupted.

Charlie builds the relationships with his educators in the Nursery room. He likes to join his educators and friends in the activities that he is interested in. He sits side-by-side his friends, enjoys the good times together such as singing a song, moving along the music and looking at the animal pictures and naming them. He especially loves to look at the pictures in the books and listen to his educator names each picture. He often pulls on his educator's arm and leads her to the book corner to read a book to him as to initiate and communicate his needs to his trusted educator (EYLF 1.1). He confidently makes his own choices in play and exploration of his surroundings. He is often seen exploring something in one corner of the room and loves to share his discoveries with his educator by getting her attention and pointing to what he finds, such as new toys or books in the corner, bird and airplane in the sky.

A reflecting team is a technique used in therapy that has been a widely used in collaborative therapy models. This technique is used by clinicians working alongside families and therapists. Observers watch sessions with families and their therapists. While observing they record notes that could be useful to the therapist and family. After coming from behind the mirror, observers have a discussion with the therapist and family on their impressions.

In the first stage of the experiment, children were brought to the experimental room by the controller and the model, who was in the hallway outside the room and was invited to come in and join in the game. The room was set up for playing and the activities were selected because they had high interest for nursery school children. One area was arranged was a child’s play area, where there was a table and chair, potato prints and stickers. After settling the child in its corner the adult model was brought to the other side of the room where there was a small table, chair, tinker-toy set, a mallet and a big inflatable Bobo doll. After the model was seated the experimenter left the experimental room (Diessner, 2008).
