2.7 Entrance Into A Play Group Case Study
L.S. can play with one child and that could be a different partner only when an adult or teacher is present. However, if more than one friend comes into the pair she will start to leave the group and the area altogether. She had even left the pair when the other child started to play in a way that LS did not want to.
It is important for L.S. to learn how to interact with others and without having a teacher or adult present; “The children exchange ideas, conversation, and materials as they work together to create playful scenes” (Heidemann and Hewitt, 2010, p. 91). We can continue to teach L.S. the value of sharing, taking turns, and working together.

left a baby blanket on the floor and then got upset when another child went to take the blanket off of the floor. She was able to take turns with the blanket when a teacher stepped in and gave directions on how to take turns. The teacher then suggested that the blanket is big enough for the two babies to share. After that L.S. and the other child took a bunch of blankets to cover up the two babies and took turns covering the babies with the blankets one at a time without any adult guidance.
We need to continue to help guide L.S. to understand the concept of taking turns. “In order to successfully take turns, a child must understand give-and-take” (Heidemann and Hewitt, 2010, p. 94). To continue to be verbal with her friends.

Observed that when another child was crying from across the room L.S. did not pay that child any attention. L.S. is starting to show empathy and offers help to another child when a child needs it. When a child got bit by another child. L.S. went to the child and gave the child a hug and stayed with that child for a few seconds before the teacher came over to help.
“Being able to support your peers is important to starting and maintaining friendships” (Heidemann and Hewitt, 2010, p. 95). To continue to encourage her support of others.
