Thanks for your help For the first one, I'd be hearing a child talk to me about what they are doing. Telling me what will happen next - the car is going to whiz down the ramp and hit the blue box, like that one did. The next car he is going to use the bigger one and push it a bit and it might even go in the kitchen! Demonstrating anticipation and excitement. The next statement I'd be looking for something similar, but with more detail. Explanation of why the heavy car went further. Recalling information he can remember - that last time he did it, the blue car went further than the red one. Self questioning and answering, some trial and error and possibly explanations to other children too, about how to get the car to go further
Wildflowers Posted November 11, 2015 Posted November 11, 2015 'Clarify feelings' - does it mean to reason about feeling, i.e. to talk more in-depth than to say how they feel, rather than to be reflective, i.e. to use talk to understand one's feelings, which is my understanding of 'clarify'. If so, it seems a little advanced for a 40-60 months old.
