Here we are tidying the train track

We are working on co-regulation. Co-regulated encounters provide

participants with certain degrees of freedom, but also are mutually

bound by a common " framework. " Co-regulation is the cornerstone of

all human communication.

You will see there is not lots of talking - I am using 'broadband'

communication wherever possible - which is basically non-verbal

communication: prosody, facial expression and gesture.

Many of Philip's glances towards me (referencing) are him 'checking

in' to see what I made of his last action and what I am going to do

next - to make sure we are on track and co-ordinated in our

interaction (within our 'framework').

Here is my commentary that I sent to our RDI Consultant, for anyone

who's interested:

0.04 A peice drops off P's track. He glances to me and says 'it

missed!' I do a 'phew!'

0.07 He glances to me, I nod, we throw. I do thumbs up, he glances

again.

0.13 I pick up another peice and nod, we throw. I do thumbs up and

say 'woah'

0.17 P glances to me and says 'lets see if we can get a turkey' I

say 'oooh'

0.29 He finds a peice and glances. I nod, we throw, he glances and

smiles and says 'yeah!' We do a high 10 and I say 'woah'

0.44 P goes to find me a similar peice to his block. He jokes that

he has found another peice and then tells me it is the same one.

1.00 We throw and then do lots of throws in quick succession. P

does lots of glancing, smiling and says 'more turkeys!'

1.44 P picks up a similar peice to mine and glances. I nod and we

throw.

1.51 P has a peice with another joined. I copy.

1.58 P glances, I nod, we throw. I do thumbs up.

We do some more peices.

2.26 P has a train and a peice of cargo. He has an idea and sticks

the cargo to the train and glances.

I take the peice off and get ready to throw. P takes the peice off

me, places it on the train, glances and asks 'can we do that?'

I look as if I'm thinking and then place his fingers on the end so I

can hold the other end and we can do it together. We drop it in the

box and I do thumbs up.

2.50 P throws a track peice in the train box. I feign surprise. P

says 'whoops' and rectifies it.

We finish and I say 'nice one!'

End of commentary.

Isn't he fantastic!!
