To support infants and toddlers as best as possible, we must understand the ways in which they grow and develop. Think about an infant or toddler you care for and their creativity. Take time to read and answer each question based on the infant or toddler you are thinking about, as well as your role as their caregiver. When you are finished, discuss your thoughts with your trainer, coach, or administrator.

1. What captures my attention as the infant or toddler explores?
    
2. What behaviors do I notice in this infant or toddler that tell me about their creativity?
    
3. What do I think is valuable about this behavior?
    
4. What do I think the infant or toddler is drawn to and feeling excited about? What might they be trying to accomplish and learn?
