Unit 065 Outcome 4..Please help ??!!
 

Why is it important to engage with children to support continued shared thinking?
I am totally stuck with this question and really do not know where to start. Any help would be appreciated :spin:

Using a topic a child is really interested in can allow for sustained shared thinking it can be talking about something or doing something which encourages conversation like we have done planting with our children this has really captured their imagination the children are talking about what they think seeds are going to grow into what happens as the plants grows, what might the plant produce. We are getting the children to reach conclusions, and explore concepts at a deeper level. The children are thinking about processes and are making connections to things they have already learnt and new information. Processing the information we have given them making them think.
