Course Activity
Congratulations on unlocking the course activity!
The activities are designed to bring you closer to the real experience of being an au pair so imagine yourself in the USA, with your host family or your host children while you work on these activities.
icon-16To complete this activity, turn to page 66 in your Au Pair Travel Kit. Be sure to answer both questions 1 and 2. You will review this assignment at the training school.
1. Think about your own childhood. How were you raised? What values did your parents teach you? Write down three important lessons you learned as a child that have shaped who you are today.
2. Think about the children in your host family. Consider their ages and what you already know about them. What are the common behavior challenges that children experience at this age? What difficult situations might come up? List at least two challenges for each child. We will discuss different ways to handle behavior challenges at the au pair training school.
These instructions are also in your Au Pair Travel Kit, so it’s okay to go ahead and click that you are finished. Don’t forget that you can also review the course material once you finish the course.
