Smile what is sustained shared thinking? EYMP 2

I have to produce a document, which I have started and almost finished but i just seem to be running out of steam

explain;

the importance of engaging with a child to support sustained shared thinking (4.2)

how you assess and record the children against the documented outcomes to show that they are working towards their goals (1.3)

how you promote the child's learning and development outside of the setting with the 'activities for home' sheet (3.1)

Thanks! x

Engaging with a child to support sustained shared thinking

Sustained shared thinking could be thought of as an extended conversation with children that helps them to develop their ideas. While chatting to children can promote their development and so is good in many respects, using this style alone will not necessarily help children to develop the skills of problem solving and reasoning. This is because a 'chat-style' conversation with a child might be short lived or other unrelated topics of conversation may crop up. Sustained shared thinking helps children to reach conclusions and explore concepts at a deeper level. During this period, children are also processing information more effectively and often make connections with things that they have already learnt. This joining up of ideas and concepts is extremely valuable.

In order for sustained shared thinking to take place children have to be extremely interested in an activity or something has occurred. Although we can plan some activities that might enable this type of conversation to take place, we also have to be ready to follow up on things that children are finding fascinating or interesting. Recognising the potential for sustained shared thinking is therefore essential. We also have to be ready to spend sufficient time with a child or group of children.
