Taking turns

In a classroom setting, we see two boys self manage a conflict situation over taking turns with a toy. The teacher is on hand to support their negotiation.

Good for looking at:

• Managing conflict
• Social skills
• Effective adult support
• Emotional development

 

Notice

• How do the children deal with a problem that arrises? (Look out for non-verbal and body language as well as spoken language)
• How are the children learning?
• Which areas of development, engagement and characteristics of learning can you observe?
• In what ways does the adult support the children’s learning?
