Course Completion Exercises: Child Initiated Interaction/Joint Attention

Your rate of request is how often you are asking your child questions, making a request or placing a demand on them. During your play sessions, you want to be around 0-1 questions per minute. To accurately figure this out you'll need to watch a 15 minute video clip, count the number of requests/questions and then divide that by 15. You don't have to do this for every session, but it's nice to do every now and then. Otherwise feel free to estimate using the choices below. Understand that while 2 questions per minute don't sound like a lot, in an hour session that's 120 questions! Yikes!
