The clothing might be gender specific e.g. dress. Answers might include: Vest – This provides a layer over the nappy which prevents the baby’s back from getting cold.

Babygro, sleep suit – This provides the baby with cover and is easy to put on and take off and lightweight. Socks – This helps to keep babies feet warm as they are prone to becoming cold because babies cannot regulate their own temperature. Hat to keep sun off – newborn babies often have very little hair, therefore they need a hat to keep the sun from getting in their eyes and to protect their head from the sun. Light cardigan, jacket – This is an extra layer of warmth for babies. They might feel the cold when the sun goes in because they have yet to be able to regulate their temperature. Any reasonable response will be awarded a mark. Marks are awarded 1 mark for the item of clothing and expectations that each reason will gain a maximum of 2 marks.

This needs to be taken every day for it to be effective. This works by stopping ovulation. The benefits are that it is very effective if taken correctly, easy and simple to use, is easily reversible. Negatives are that it does not work fully if the woman takes antibiotics, it can make some women put on weight or affect their hormones adversely, it doesn’t protect against STI. IUS, IUD or coil – women might choose this method which is a device which is placed inside the womb preventing the sperm from meeting the egg. Some contain hormones. Positives – they can be in place for 5–10 years, once fitted they are forgotten about, they are very effective. Negatives – can cause bleeding, may be uncomfortable to fit, needs to be removed by a medical professional. Implant – this is small tube of hormones inserted inside the woman’s arm. Positives – it can work for up to 3 years, it works automatically, fertility returns immediately after it is removed, it is very effective. Negatives – it requires minor surgery, it can be felt underneath the skin, it needs to be removed by a medical professional. There might be many other correct responses, including for example, sterilisation, condoms, diaphragm, withdrawal, natural methods, abstention, patch, vaginal ring. Full marks will only be awarded where the answers are well constructed and not listed. 0–6 MARKS Low response Lists not discussion. Few examples given, positives and negatives not suitably addressed or information is inaccurate. 7–11 MARKS Medium response. There is evidence of several different methods discussed, but little development of answers. There is an imbalance of positives or negatives or under developed responses in some areas. Generally all information is correct and accurate. 12–20 MARKS High response. There are multiple correctly identified and explained methods and well explained positives and negative for each. [20] OR Children may display their frustration through acting inappropriately. This might include throwing temper tantrums. This is where children refuse to cooperate; they might roll around on the floor or become rigid. Children are usually very upset at this time and adults might not be able to reason with them. The children might scream and shout or run away from their parent or carer. Children might become frustrated if they see something they want and cannot have it. If another child has this, they might try to grab it from them, snatch things and refuse to give it back. The child might also break things in frustration, especially if they cannot make it work. Children might throw things in temper. Young babies also become frustrated and might scream and turn red in the face. They might cry and be difficult to calm down. Parents and carers should be gentle and not try to forcibly handle children as they might hurt themselves. When children throw tantrums it is best to ignore their behaviour but comfort them afterwards. Children do not understand their emotions and so they need adults to reassure them and talk about how they are feeling. Children might be shy when they meet someone new or are in an unfamiliar place. They might bury their face, cling on to their parent and cry. Children who are shy might not want to speak in

Mark scheme, page 8

Page 8 Mark Scheme Syllabus Paper Cambridge IGCSE – October/November 2016 0637 01 © UCLES 2016 front of others and may become embarrassed and upset. Children might ask to go home and sit by the door. Parents should reassure children, not force them to talk and give them time to get used to the new person or place. They should ask children how they are feeling and talk about this. The child will need reassurance and comforting and the parent or carer should stay calm and speak softly to the child until they feel more confident. Children show their excitement in exaggerated ways. They might wave their arms and jump up and down, scream and laugh loudly. When children are excited they tend to be loud and difficult to calm down. This can mean that they are more likely to have an accident such as, falling over. The child might become so excited that they cry or wet themselves because they are unable to control the way they are feeling and it becomes too much for them. Children who are very excited might need to sleep afterwards because they have exhausted themselves. Parents should try to help children to contain their feelings by helping them find ways to express their excitement, asking them how they are feeling and talking to them in low, calm quiet voices. When children scream, the adults might encourage them to sit down and have a few minutes quiet time. There might be many other correct responses, but all must explain the three emotions given to achieve full marks. Responses must be in full, fluid sentences not lists. 0–6 MARKS Low response Lists not discussion. Few examples given, areas not covered or the responses do not link to the emotions given. Parents responses not given or are concerning such as suggesting corporal punishment. 7–11 MARKS Medium response. There is evidence of all emotions covered and behaviour explained and some attempts at parents responses but these are not well developed or are concerning in some areas. Generally all information is correct and accurate. 12–20 MARKS High response. There are multiple correctly identified and explained emotions and behaviours and well explained adult responses. All three emotions have been covered equally well. [20]
