“In high-quality infant/toddler programs, the interests of the child and the belief that each child has a curriculum are what drive practice. The adult role is to discover the infant’s curriculum and support its implementation.” –Ronald Lally, WestEDPITC

When teachers interact with groups of children, rather than with a single child, they change how they talk with children (What are some of the differences?
• While teachers talk as much as parents, teachers direct less language specifically to individual children.
• Speech is likely to be more directive and prohibitive when teachers interact with groups of children. Only about 20% of teachers’ talk to children was for something other than being directive or to control children’s behavior
• Children’s language is less well developed and their vocabulary is smaller when teachers use language that is more controlling
• When interacting with groups of children, teachers tend to have less of the good-quality, one-to-one, just for the pleasure of it, kind of conversational exchanges that Hart and Risley found make a difference in children’s development.

language support§ Teacher talk reflects the consistency with which
teachers provide language in the classroom.
§ Communication support captures teachers’ initiation and repetition of sounds in direct interactions with infants.
§ Communication extension encompasses teachers’ efforts to extend communication attempts by adding words to actions and sounds and modeling turn-taking

Free play, or choice time, is the ideal
opportunity for children to engage
in pretend talk, a type of extended
discourse that predicts stronger
language and literacy development.

ScenarioWhen Rowan, 19 Months, gets hungry and has to wait to eat, she
cries loudly and is difficult to comfort. She follows you around and
hangs on your leg as you try and care for the other children and get
ready for lunch. Due to her home schedule, usually Rowan is hungry
before the rest of the children. Today you decide to feed everyone a
little early to prevent Rowan from getting upset. As you start
washing everyone’s hands for lunch, Rowan hurries to her seat.
Naomi, 26 months, doesn’t want to eat yet. When you call her to
wash her hands, she runs behind a shelf.

CognitiveDevelopment
JeanPiaget’sStagesofCognitiveDevelopmentAge DevelopmentalStage
Birth– 2Years Sensorimotor
2-7Years Preoperational
Early cognitive development is based on actions, which lead to processes, which lead to changes in mental operations, the way we think.
![Page 73: Baby Steps to School Readiness - Inspired By The Childinspiredbythechild.weebly.com/uploads/2/5/3/6/... · Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star Twinkle, twinkle, little star, What a wonderful](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062302/5f025c0c7e708231d403e223/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
• Infant Play– Mutualgaze—firstawarenessoftheother– SensorimotorPlay—
• Focus is on interactions with motion and objects in the environment
• Some level of novelty is preferred• Repetition of actions is frequent• Toys over which infants can assert control tend
to be preferred and build a sense of agency (Bandura, 1977; c.f. Erikson, trust—mistrust)
Infant and Toddler Play
![Page 74: Baby Steps to School Readiness - Inspired By The Childinspiredbythechild.weebly.com/uploads/2/5/3/6/... · Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star Twinkle, twinkle, little star, What a wonderful](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062302/5f025c0c7e708231d403e223/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)
• Toddler Play– With language, mobility, and cognitive
development, toddlers move to more socially mediated play
– Coordinated imitation—tend to repeat others’ actions
– Early toddler play remains focused on motion and objects (e.g. block stacking)
– As maturation occurs, more social role play begins;
![Page 75: Baby Steps to School Readiness - Inspired By The Childinspiredbythechild.weebly.com/uploads/2/5/3/6/... · Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star Twinkle, twinkle, little star, What a wonderful](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062302/5f025c0c7e708231d403e223/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
• ToddlerPlay– More advanced levels of social play (negotiating
roles, changing roles) tend to be related to more lasting friendships across childhood
– Conflicts arise!• Distraction and diversion tend to work best with
toddlers• Conflicts tend to be based on possession of
objects or turns at some desired activity• Possession is ownership (similar to dog rules)

• Toddler Play– As language and symbolic thought improve,
toddlers begin make-believe play– Imaginary roles and substitution of one object for
another (shoe becomes a truck) occurs– Children can appear to be much more cognitively
advanced in play with peers than alone.
