Question

A volunteer mom is happily playing peek-a-boo with her 14 month-old daughter. The little girl is obviously delighting in the turn-taking pattern of conversation; there are lots of giggles from both of them. One of the caregivers is changing a child; she is talking to him about the clean diaper she is going to put on him. He is looking at her intently and reaches for the diaper while she is talking. Another child is crying softly near the entrance; her mom has just left. A caregiver is sitting beside her offering comforting words (“I can see you are feeling sad”; “Your mommy will be back after lunch”). The sobbing toddler is leaning against the caregiver but does not seem to want to sit on her lap. Over in the far corner of the room you can see two toddlers playing with small blocks; a caregiver is sitting near them. One child is using a few Spanish words; the other is using only English. You can hear the caregiver repeating some of each of the toddlers’ words, easily using both Spanish and English. Describe the language interactions you see. Specifically describe how the infants and toddlers are communicating in the scenario above. (nonverbal and verbal)
