Observing: Stand back and observe the actions of your child. Look for patterns or repeated behaviour. This repetitive behaviour is a schema. E.g a child moving their toys from one place to another (Transporting) a child who throws their toys (Trajectory) a child who pours their drink into their food (Transformation)

Support: Offer toys and resources that will support their schema e.g. loose parts for a child in the transporting schema; soft balls and pompoms for the trajectory schema or sand and water activities for the transformation schema. Plan trips and visits that will engage with their schema and allow them to deepen their learning.
