In this set of clips you will see 4 examples of teachers using completely non-verbal strategies to engage young children. Watch as a teacher: a) entices an infant to pursue the challenge of grasping an object that is just beyond reach; b) carefully imitates a child as way to encourage a musical dialogue; c) supports the children’s thinking about a box of jewelry by pointing out several salient features such as transparency and fragility or comments on how items can be used; d) engages in parallel play beside three children with the goal of offering some new actions as provocations
