Hand-in-Hand presents a unique model for identifying children in the play environment who are missing out on learning, and therefore readily overlooked or labeled problematic. Skilled teachers demonstrate a new, reflective framework for observing and intervening that supports children who are shy or timid, act out in frustration or anger, or are unable to engage with materials or classmates.

This three-DVD series documents teachers as they build trust, teach negotiation skills, nurture self-esteem, and support children with varied needs and abilities in the midst of busy days. The Child Who Doesn't Play is the foundation for the series and looks at what happens when children can't take advantage of play opportunities. It presents basic information about play problems and their impact on children's lives. Each volume includes this video, plus two other videos. Ages 3-8. Produced by Educational Productions.
