Curriculum Responsive to Children’s Development and Learning: Home Visiting (Video 2)

Diana: Today, we plan building with boxes.

Mom: Ah!

Diana: I noticed the previous home visit the child — that we had an activity where she was stacking some caps, and I said, "Well, we can definitely encourage that the next following home visit to — to build." ... on top?

Mom: Five.

Diana: Also support her social and emotional development. We're playing together, socializing, too, with other people, and then this is an activity that she can take and do it with her siblings, and mom, and daddy or nana, they can engage or support the child to take turns. And she likes counting, so they continue doing that.

Child: One.

Diana: Uh-huh.

Child: Two.

Diana: Uh-huh.

Child: Three.

Diana: So this activity encourages the kids to explore different ways, counting, to take opportunities to play with other kids, and with mom and daddy to play taking turns, and to solve a problem. If she's unable to place them all on top, we can help her and motivate her to persist, to continue doing it.

Previous visits we have been working on just passing toys to one another, me to mom, mom to me, me to child, mom to child, and so on. We had notice that the child keep offering a toy to her or me, and mom would also say, "Give it to Diana," or "It's my — it's me, my turn," or simple words like that. Before she would just keep it close to her. Today was more intentional using those words. "My turn, your turn."

Mom: Your turn.

Diana: Your turn. So we can coach her to interact, be able to maybe enter a group of other children or playing with other children.

Mom: Wow!

Diana: Wow!

Mom: My turn. Can I do it?

Diana: Have you noticed her having any opportunities at home passing a toy, passing a candy?

Mom: Yeah, I remember for the first time it was hard, but now she's like kind of letting it go.
