Lifespan tutorial scenarios and questions.
Use the information from the lectures and your readings to answer the
following scenarios that will be discussed further in class.
Scenario 1—Brian (4 years)
Brian’s family lives in a two-storey house in an inner city area. There are 4
bedrooms (3 bedrooms and main bathroom upstairs; master bedroom,
ensuite bathroom and a separate toilet downstairs), a study and a family
room/children’s playroom full of toys (upstairs) and the kitchen, dining
room and formal lounge (downstairs). The family have a large Mitsubishi 4wheel drive and a smaller 4 cylinder Mazda 3 in the two-car garage. They
have a Rottweiler dog and a Siamese cat as pets. There is a small front
garden with an oleander tree and azaleas; there is no front fence, just a
low level box hedge. At the side of the house they have a fenced
swimming pool and at the rear a lawn, sand pit and a trampoline.
Draw a floor plan/diagram of the home and block Brian lives in. Note on the diagram what you would
consider as aspects to address to prevent childhood injury for a preschool child in this type of
environment. As well as the rooms within the house remember and consider the front, side and back
outdoor environments.
Page 10 of 7
Scenario 2—Cheryl (8 years)
Cheryl is an 8-year-old girl who moved to the local public primary school midyear and has attended for 3 weeks. She appears shy, pale, thin and carries
herself stiffly, displaying a constantly watchful gaze. She does not participate
voluntarily in class and does not appear to have any specific friends. Her
teacher has observed what appears to be jeering and laughing directed toward
her in the playground during the break time, by 3 or 4 of her female classmates.
As soon as Cheryl appeared to become teary the group dispersed. The teacher
suspects Cheryl is suffering from bullying but when approached she indicates
nothing is wrong, although she will not make eye- contact.
