Page 6 Mark Scheme: Teachers’ version Syllabus Paper IGCSE – October/November 2010 0637 01 © UCLES 2010 SECTION C 11 (a) A high level response will include an understanding for the importance of sleep and how to achieve a calm bedtime instead of a bedtime battle. [12–20] A mid level response will cover most of the outline above but in varying depths. [7–11] A low level response will be of a superficial level, lacking in detail and understanding. [0–6] Answers could include: Sleep allows rest and relaxation for the child and parents A child should have a regular bedtime every night so they are aware that it is now bedtime and the level of activity should be reduced so that the child will be less excitable and more likely to sleep. A bed time bath is warm and relaxing and allows for 'Special' time with parents. A warm drink may calm and relax the child and encourage sleep. A suitable story will give quality time with parent(s) and child may fake asleep during this. The story must be chosen with care so the child is not frightened and becomes afraid. Tuck child in a kiss and cuddle to increase sense of security and the child will settle easier. Have a special toy or comforter to increase security and to act as a focus. Leave light on, night light or lamp to prevent apprehension especially if child is afraid of the dark. Tell child where you are in the house and check on them regularly to reduce 'separation anxiety' etc. (b) A high level response will identify several areas in the home e.g. kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, living area, stairs and safety measures to be taken. [12–20] A mid level response will identify two or three areas only, or give a general detailed account of safety measures. [7–11] A low level response will be of a superficial level and very generalised. [0–6] Answers could include: Kitchen • Controls out of reach • Guides on cooker • Pan handles facing inwards • Non-slip floor covering • Wipe up spillages • Keeping cleaning items out of reach • Safety catches on cupboards and drawers • Safety locks on washing machines and tumble dryers • Sharp knives out of reach • Socket outlet covers • No trailing leads etc. (Some of the above may be relevant to other areas) Bedroom • Tables, chairs, bed away from windows • No free standing radiators • Lockable windows • Safety catches on windows • Good lighting etc.
