About the vulnerability of infants and toddlers and what an adult may learn from inferring a child’s possible answers to questions such as the following:
- Do I usually feel that I am someone who belongs rather than just part of the crowd?
- Do I usually feel accepted, understood, and protected by the adults, rather than scolded or neglected by them?
- Am I usually addressed seriously and respectfully, rather than as someone who is “precious” or “cute”?
- Do I find most of the activities engaging, absorbing, and challenging, rather than just amusing, fun, entertaining, or exciting?
- Do I find most of the experiences interesting, rather than frivolous or boring?
- Do I find most of the activities meaningful, rather than mindless or trivial?
- Do I find most of my experiences satisfying, rather than frustrating or confusing?
- Am I usually glad to be here, rather than reluctant to come and eager to leave” (Katz & Mendoza, 2010).

About anxiety in toddlers and how it is one of many variables that are related to tantrums, and the findings imply that parents and caregivers should consider that a tantrum might reflect a child’s underlying anxiety, confusion, or stress, in addition to or instead of willful opposition.

About “the many connections between cognitive competence and high-quality pretend play and how there is a growing body of evidence to suggest that high-quality pretend play is an important facilitator of perspective taking and later abstract thought, that it may facilitate higher-level cognition, and that there are clear links between pretend play and social and linguistic competence”. (Bergen, 2002).
