The Two Year Old – At home & nursery

Buying Options

Description

If you’re setting up or improving your provision for two year olds, these sequences provide a perfect resource. Filmed over the course of a year we follow the trials and tribulations of Ava, these delightful sequences give a real insight into what life is like for a two year old. You will also have the unique opportunity to see Ava’s first day at nursery, and on this important day, how her key person and her Mum work together to allay her anxieties and support this transition over the following months as she settles in.

You will be able to observe and analyse all of the developmental milestones that take place during a year in the life of a typical two year old. Sequences show Ava becoming increasingly independent from the safe base of her relationships with her close adults.

Also captured are her challenges as she deals with the strong emotions experienced by two year olds. You can observe and compare how Ava’s relationships and activity at home and at nursery, support and nurture her development.
