| Summary |
We follow a typical two year old - she loves learning and exploring. She is becoming increasingly independent, wanting to do more things for herself. Sometimes she becomes overwhelmed by her feelings as she struggles with what she can and can't do. This film gives a rounded picture of her life, at home and at nursery, throughout the whole year until her third birthday. It clearly shows the importance of good relationships with her close adults and the effects that they have on her overall development. When Ava starts nursery we see how this big transition is dealt with. The nursery employs a key person approach and we watch as she gradually forms an attachment to her key person. She develops rapidly during this year and these steps are clearly documented. We see her playing, learning to dress herself, beginning to socialise with peers, going shopping, having tantrums and the whole range of behaviour that are part of being a two year old. Peter Elfer (a leading researcher in nursery practice) expands on what is happening, explaining related theories on attachment, key people and development. The video also contains extra footage of the interview with Peter Elfer where he answers questions and talks of common concerns about the key person' approach. This video includes the following sequences: Introducing Ava, Ava starts nursery: 26 mths, Developing independence: 26-27 mths, First full day at nursery: 27 mths, Learning at home: 28 mths, A feeling of belonging: 30 mths, Playing with key person: 33 mths, Making friends, joining in: 36 mths. |
