Relationships

G1987
Published 2010

Infants and toddlers learn early language and literacy skills in the context of their relationships with the adults around them, as if they are putting together a puzzle.

Most of the puzzle pieces involve taking turns -- your turn, my turn, your turn, my turn.

The turns might be with actions or with talking. The turns might be very quick or rather slow.

the turns might be "peekaboo" or building with blocks or "giving five" or repeating an attempt at a word or an animal sound.

Remember: It is ping-pong, not pool. Young children and adults take turns, one then the other.
