This contains source sequences rich in examples of communication, language, social and emotional development that can be used with a variety of aims and observation techniques.
Sequences are arranged chronologically fron 15 months to 6.5 years
The sequences include:
- 15 month old playing with grandma - numerous non-verbal communication skills
- 2 year old twins playing together - differing developmental stages
- 2.5 year old looking at photos with mum - 3 word sentences etc.
- Three 3.5 year olds playing together outside - cooperation, withdrawal, leadership
- Three children 4, 5 & 6 years old sitting round a table with playdough - eventually leads to conflict
Each sequence can be used for formal or informal observations. For each sequence the accompanying notes (25 pages) include a brief description and suggested observation methods and objectives. Detailed lists of points that can be noticed in all areas of development and transcripts of all language used are also included.

I've found the DVDs excellent when working with parenting groups and individual families. We have a series of all the DVDs for our infant mental health resources library. They are particularly useful when teaching parents about attachment, communication and social interactions.
No reviews.
