This book focuses on understanding social interactions between very young children.  It promotes positive social engagement and is divided into sections based upon age – infants, toddlers and older toddlers.  The book attempts to explain different types of “communication” in young children such as hitting or vocalizations. It also provides strategies for supporting peer relationships in how you step up the environment or what role the adult takes on during the play.  This book primarily contains theory and a few basic ideas about how to think about setting up positive interactions. Lots of good things to think about, but not a lot of day to day ideas to use with an individual child. (Written by Michele Neely, SpEd preschool teacher for the Olympia School District)
