Won't my mommy be so proud of me? I'm wiping off my baby bumblebee. Look! I'm all clean!
Yay! Are you guys all clean together? Here, Finley. Here you go.
Sample of exploration with mothers because as you can see in this room the kids are all playing together and they're kind of grouped together and they are working to build a Lego set. Emily, do you want to build a tower? Here. It's built.
Gracie, no thank you. Almost. Good.
Good job, McKinley. Yeah, not too far. Good job. Awesome. There you go.
Should we put a star on top? Gracie, hold on. Well, well.
What should we put? Come here, come here, come here. Yeah, good job. Go to the tower. How about you?

Good job. Help me! Be nice. You're such a goof. Yeah, look.
Can we share? Can we share? Yeah, can you give him one of these please? Come on. Look, Calbee.
Do you want to help build? Can you let him help you build? Good job, McKinley. Can you put this on the tower?
Okay. Good job. Ready, ready, ready, ready, ready.
Go play, please. Oh, Aiden. Good job, So this here is an example of wants to do things by himself.
As you can see, he is working hard by himself to build a Lego set and to finish the final product. Hi Sydney! Hi!
Do you want to help build the Lego set? Here, McKinley, can we share? Here! Good job guys! Nice teamwork!
Good job, good job. Good job, Aria. Is that fine? Good job.
Looks awesome. Good job. Would you like a Lego? Mommy. Here, how about we give a friend a turn, okay?
So that right there, whenever she said no to an adult, that was an example of one of the developmental continuums, saying no to an adult, one and a half to two and a half. age group. Oh put your feet in the hole. Calvin come on.
There you go. Sit me. Here.
She has gotten like super energetic. Yeah I told you she's gained her personality. Oh yes. Okay.
Nothing. Oh you're not sleeping. Oh, thank you.
Thank you for having me. Look, a fun animal. One, two, three.
What's your name? Aria, do you want to come play? I'm going to play with you. Okay.
Hey! Hey! Hey! McKinley, can I see you?
Where'd he go? Where'd he go? Good job!
Rowan! Ready? Where'd it go?
Hey, Mama! Good job! You found it!
Yay! Rowan! Let me see! Ready? Yay!
Where'd it go? Where'd it go? Good job.
You found it. Good job. So this right here is an example of looking for an object that is hidden from view.
Because he found... the object that I had hidden from him. And he is looking for me, he was continually looking for me.
So this right here is an example of clinging to the primary caregiver. So right here, she is wanting her to pick her up because she is with her most of the day. So this is a... I gotta get the other side. There you go, now you get to see the video.
Yeah. Ooh. Wow, Gracie.
That's quite good. So as you can see, even though the clinging to your primary care, that was on the zero to 15 months, some of these kids still at this age, still exhibit this behavior. Can I have a notice? that some of the kids also fall above and some of the kids also fall below the developmental age continuum.
And they can be typically functioning and they can still fall into a variety of different cultures. So just a quick observation here, that's what I'm going to use to be interacting with the different kiddos and interacting with the kids in this room and in the main room as well. No, not today.
It's cold. No, it's a bummer. Are you painting? What are you doing Calvin? What is that?
Ready? Ready? Are you sharing with me? Thank you.
Look, you paint. Yeah, you paint. I'm doing a musical party. Musical party. Miss Asia is ready.
Alright, Harba, let's go. More paint? More paint. So as you can see here, Calvin just kind of mumbled more paint because that's what he wants to get.
And he is using what words he does know in order to get what he wants. So let's go see what he wants. Making my sister argue with her head.
Gracie! You try! Good job, Aaliyah!
Good job! Would you like to play with the cars too, Rowan? Uh, no. Make a knee.
If you touch, you're not gonna... Please stop. Would you like to try, Aaliyah?
Hi! Oh, do you want me to play? Really?
No. Rowan, would you like to play too? No, but can you?
No, thank you. What do you think, Aria? Do you know what color this card is?
No, thank you. Is it blue? Blue. Good job.
Nice of you to know your words. Ready? Yay!
Good job. And here she is picking up on the language that I'm saying and she's also repeating that language back to me in order for her to learn how to speak properly and how to enhance her her language skills. So I am just saying a word and seeing if she will read it.
Plane! Go play Mr. Coppin! Wow! That's a plane!
And this is a car. Look! Zoom! Zoom! Zoom!
Hi! Good job! As you can see there, she repeated the word, vroom.
Oh, thank you. Thank you. Do airplanes fly? Vroom! Woo!
Good job, Calvin. Good job. Thank you.
Woo! Woo! Oh, thank you. It's a police car.
So you go vroom. Thank you. What is this?
It's a car. Good job. No win. No thank you. Good job, Calvin.
Aria, what are you doing? Not nice. What are you doing?
I'm trying to get a little variety of these wings. because he was just climbing up here, and I had to pull him up, he could not climb up here. And now he is on the floor, I'm throwing a fit.
So this is an example of riding in his wings in Egypt. Gotcha. Thank you.
I'm done. I'm done. I'm done. I'm done.
Ball. Ball. Ball.
Go. Ready? He's a great girl. Hi Calvin. Hi.
Hi. Do you want to see the snow? Okay, let's go see the snow. Alright, brother. Look at the snow.
Can you see snow? Yeah. Good job.
Easton, would you like to see the snow? Yeah? Here, Calvi.
Here. All right. Up.
Hold on Rowan. All right. Slow. Slow.
Yeah. Slow. Good job. That's so cute.
Can you point to the snow? Hold on Rowan, okay? So as you can see here, this is an example of sees others as a means of not getting instant gratification because I was holding him previously and now he's upset that I'm not holding him. Oh.
It's all right. It's all right. Would you like to see the snow? He also is doing the same thing now. I know, you guys just want to see the snow.
Look! Snow! You gotta hold it.
Snow! I know, I know. I'm sorry.
What's wrong? You're so dramatic, Calvin. All done. Right now because he's eating like a giant stain.
Like he ate a lot of things but now it's like super extra. Alright my kid laid him down. Oh yeah.
Hi. Do you want to build the tower with me? You're often paint. Here.
We have to leave her and have a turn. Nope. Good job, Easton.
Good job. That's so fun. This is a really good example of them wanting to do stuff by themselves in the developmental continuum. Because as you can see, they are working together to build the Legos and they are building the Legos separately and together. What do you think?
Would you like to let it go? Okay, Rowan, you ready? Yeah.
You're so funny, Calvin. Do you want to read a book? Yeah.
Do you want to read a book? Yeah. Do you want to read a book on the bug?
Yeah. Oh, a book! Come here, Nellie. Do you want to read a book?
Yeah. Okay. Steam ahead. Stan the steam engine is very proud.
He was the first train ever made. Now Stan gets towards the home. Wild West, a piece of books of the golden age.
Would you like to read two? Here, come here. Come here. Ian Harper, come here with me. An old coal mine is up ahead where it says there lives a ghost.
Stan remembers when he picked a pole and took it coast to coast. As Stan pulls up to the station, he gets a delightful surprise. His old station will be a museum.
His heart swells with pride. The end. Good job. Parker, do you want to read this book with us? Yeah.
Look. Duff's surprise. Near the water, we have a home.
In the grass. In the grass, we have a nest. Hi. Would you like to read a story also? Okay.
Alright. In the grass, we have a nest. Look at Good job. In the nest we have three eggs. What's in the nest?
In the eggs we have an alligator. The end. Alright Calvin, let's read your book next. Biscuit Visits the Pumpkin Patch. Would you like to listen Harper?
Okay. Biscuit Visits the Pumpkin Patch. We're going to the pumpkin patch Biscuit.
Here sweet puppy. Just look at all the pumpkins, Biscuit. There are big pumpkins and small pumpkins. Alright, after this book, we will read this book, okay? Okay, so can you sit down?
Okay. Oop, oop, funny puppy. You picked a pumpkin that's just the right size.
We can carve this pumpkin to make a jack-o-lantern, Biscuit. And that pumpkin will make a delicious pie. Oop, oop. Oh, Biscuit, no digging now.
Biscuit, you're going to make a big pumpkin. You're going to make a big pumpkin. You're going to make a big pumpkin.
Oh, Biscuit, no digging now. Look Biscuit, we can even paint a pumpkin at the pumpkin patch. How do you like this one Biscuit?
Woof woof. Biscuit, what are you doing? Woof woof. Silly puppy, you found puddles.
Woof woof. Bow wow. You say go off. Hop hop woof. Even the little bunny is visiting the pumpkin patch today.
The end. So as you can see, whenever I'm reading and whenever I'm interacting with the kids, they like the pumpkin patch. like to do stuff together and interact together so they all kind of migrate toward what is the main attraction going on right now.
And that is obviously me reading right now. Deep inside the enchanted forest, in a land filled with magical dreams, there lived a group of fairies among the flowers and streams. Isabel liked to sit and read upon the old oak tree while her animal friends gathered to listen. How many rabbits do you see? Oh, I see one!
She was known for her artwork. Painting is what she loved to do. Her palette was filled with every color. Point to them. Red, yellow, green, and blue.
Good job, blue! Felicity spends her days dancing, always happy and happy. She also loved the meadow flowers.
Can you count them? One, two, three, four. Three! Good job Calvin! All done!
Good job! Oh this one? I just read this one! Oh, all aboard! The passenger train is always right on time.
She pulls into the station to see the early morning news. Katie knows her passengers must get to work and back. She tries to reach the clock as she races along the track.
Hi! Katie could go off the rail, but when she makes the harp and turn, she slows down just enough. Safety must come first. When she rolls into the next station, while heading back across town, Katie makes sure all her...
Thank you. As you can see here, she knows the rules, but she also needs the... adult coaching in order to keep her on track. Mommy!
She was like, what the fuck? Can I have a hug? Alright guys. Can I have a hug?
Sasha just put five dollars in my pocket. Thank you. Asia, is the only one being? Good job.
Good job. Wanna sit back at the table? Actually, you had your own chair, remember?
Why is this morning driving you nuts? Whee! Okay, where are you?
