Play with Sticks
In this video a facilitator interacts with a child under 3 years. She gives the child a three sticks and asks what he would like to do with them. She then copies the child. This goes on and on with the child initiating and the facilitator copying. She is following his lead. Later she demonstrates some actions with her own sticks, then asks the child: And what will you do with your sticks? Again he does something and she copies. Later she adds two bottle caps and the same process continues. The child does something and she copies. Use of simple local materials; open ended questions to the child; and copying child's actions are the highlighed features of this video.1. Why does the faciiltator copy the child (instead of telling the child to copy her)?
2. What is the child learning through this interaction?
3. How could you support caregivers to "follow the child's lead?"
