Parents will soon develop a temperament of tolerance by the time their toddler is age two.
Group activity like this ball rolling event in parachute material is a goal for many mothers. They can only hope their child to make it a half hour without screaming or running around the room.
One starting point for group play is indendependent play. This is only one goal for toddlers. Play like this one can be an exciting and fun learning experience. The skills developed through independent play help to develop intentional curiosity.
A teacher can put a truck in front of a child or a child in front of a bunch of trucks, but if the child can not be curious about them,we can begin to see social problems emerge. A teacher can be a guide to play by posing questions about the trucks with repeated interaction. A role model teacher can establish and instill the investigative strategies about how to play by themselves and ultimately play well with other children.
