In this exemplar video, a teacher interacts with a toddler during meal time. Notice how the teacher responds to child’s mention of their “DaDa” by asking “Where is DaDa?” and expanding on it by mentioning the pictures of him on the wall and that he’s at work. The teacher follows the toddler’s interests while using language that she is familiar with, an example of nurturing and interacting with children as individuals.
