Can anyone explain this to me. I understand the concept, correct me if I'm wrong - adult-led is when i set up and help with the activity, child-led is when the child chooses and completes the activity (either alone or with help)?
The problem I am finding is when I try to write my planning which has been created by me and my development advisor. I have a column for adult-led activities and one for each child which should show child-led activities. I am struggling with what to write in the child-led column as everything I have thought of, although it is from the child's 'next steps' and is something they would normally play with, appears to be adult-led and therefore can't go in that column. Does that make sense? For example, I have a child who needs to have more experience of turn-taking and sharing, so I was thinking about putting Skittles in the child-led column but because I am planning to do that with him, isn't it classed as adult-led? How do I plan for child-led activities without it becoming an adult-led one?
Sorry waffling a bit but hope you understand what I'm trying to get at. :blush:
