EXAMPLE::
Your baby caregiver will gather a noise-making object to shake behind their highchair.

When your baby shows they are paying attention to the sounds, she then moves back into the baby's visual range, rewarding them by clapping, and saying "Good Job!" "Good Job! "Good Job!" like the game PEEK-A-BOO.

:
EXAMPLE:
Your child will be encouraged to take part in a group discussion. Two of the children would act out the scenario as playmates. The caregiver gave a toy to the children that they both liked. Playmate one wants to also play with playmate two toys, but playmate two is not sharing. Playmate one now looks very sad. Both children have been playing with their toys for an extended time. The group, including our actors, would be asked by their educator what the problem is? How would they feel if they were playmate one, and how can they tell not sharing has become a problem? Their goal is to develop a solution and a possible outcome as a group.
