Adult-Child Interaction & DevelopmentDelaney & Kaiser, 1999
Joint Attention
Instructions
Adults As Role Models?
Adults directly and indirectly model how to communicate.
Children learn how to interpret and respond to others by watching adults.
Components of Responsive Interaction
Joint Attention: Sharing the child’s focus on an object, person, event, or topic.
Contingent Responsiveness: Assigning meaning to child language or communicative attempts by following child communication with related adult response
Expansions. Repeating and adding to what the child says.
Following Child’s Lead. Matching one’s verbal and nonverbal behavior to the child’s topic, agenda, or behavior.
Matching Communicative Intent. Matching adult language to child’s nonverbal behavior and/or verbal behavior.
Components, Continued...
Match linguistic complexity: talk in phrases or sentences that the child can understand but that are slightly above his/her current level of productive language.
Modeling language: provide an exact example of the language wanted from the child.
Nonverbal engagement: communicate without using words.
Pause: allow at least 3 seconds to elapse between adult utterances.
Real questions: seek information or opinions that the adult does not already know.
Turn –taking: match the frequency of adult and child verbal and/or nonverbal interaction.
What Does A Conversation Need?
• at least 2 people• a shared interest• talking• listening• turn-taking
Responsive Communication Style
Ascertain the speaker’s meaning.
Respond to the child in a supportive, communicative manner.
Offer language that could be used to represent or expand the child’s meaning.
Following Child’s Lead:Letting child be “the boss” while playing.
Rules:
1. Watch child.
2. Listen to child.
3. Imitate child with words and actions.
4. No unimportant directions.
5. No “test” questions.
How to Get Into the Interaction Sit next to the child -- face to face is best. Touch the child when it is appropriate. Exchange materials within the interaction. Relate your materials to the child materials. Draw on the same paper, read the same book. Place your objects next to the child's (build together, have animals play together, race cars). Make the same thing the child is making, mimic the child's movements. Give the child things to add to his play (more clay, another crayon, ruler, another block). Follow the child's agenda -- don't let your own play with materials occupy you - get the child
occupy you. Watch what the child is doing and talk about it. Describe the child's scheme and elaborate on it (you made a snake and a turtle, we could
have a zoo!). Get down on the child's level. Make eye contact -- but don't force it. Talk to the child--really talk TO him, not around him or to your self. Smile. Exude positive affect and global approval of the child ~ let him know you like him and you like
being with him in this activity. Take your cues from child -- if he wants you to back off, leave his materials alone, etc. --Do so! Set up turn taking (filling a bucket with sand, feeding the baby, racing cars. Talk softly but make sure he hears and understands you. Be playful even when you are working hard at doing the intervention.--.when you are playful
the child feels you are available.
Conversation Definitions
• Pausing: wait 5 seconds after you say something before you say something else. This will give child a chance to think about what you said and answer it.
• Turn-Taking: child talks, then you talk.
• Listening: show child that you are listening by looking at him when he talks and by responding to what he says.

Sometimes young children hit, kick, scream, yell, or cry because they don’t know how to explain what they are feeling. Reflective Statements are
good ways to replace actions with words
