Video: Gross Motor - Infants

Responding to Child's Frustration

In this 1-minute video, an infant on the floor becomes frustrated while attempting to push himself up. He looks to the adults in the room for support, showing emergent emotional self-regulation skills. An educator responds verbally then assists him, offering a toy, then repositioning him to a sitting position and remaining nearby, providing continued support.
