Everyday life activities provide development-enhancing learning opportunities for young children. Since parents, teachers, child care providers, and other caregivers are with infants and toddlers more frequently and for longer periods of time than early childhood intervention practitioners, caregivers need to know how they can support their child's learning within the context of their interest-based activities in the home, community, and early childhood classroom. Coaching is an adult learning strategy and interaction style that may be used by early childhood intervention providers to build the competence and confidence of caregivers to use responsive strategies within these development-enhancing activities that will achieve their desired outcomes.
