Prompt 1: When you were a child, were you ever frustrated because you couldn't do what the big kids were doing? Do you also remember the way that your family and others encouraged you and celebrated your successes at different ages? In this video, you will see different parents interacting with their toddlers as the children explore their world through words and actions.

Can you imagine what it feels like to be a toddler (or a child with limited verbal abilities due to a disability) and to have a limited ability to express your wants and needs? How did the adults help the children get what they wanted or needed?

Prompt 2: The adults in this video have different styles of interacting with their toddlers. In what ways are they promoting their child's language development? In what ways are they supporting their child's exploration and interaction with their environment? What are some ways that you could help toddlers and young children learn to express themselves?
