In this text, the social and emotional worlds of babies and toddlers, their peers, and their caregivers come to life in the everyday moments of infant-toddler care and education. The authors show infants and toddlers as active, agentic, and intentional social partners from the start of life, highlighting their unique capacities for social engagement with both adults and peers. Interwoven within each chapter's narrative are insights culled from extensive observations, teacher interviews, and video analyses. Part I emphasizes play, peer friendships, and humor as essential elements of infant learning, illustrated throughout with anecdotes of praxis in early care and education settings. Building on these aspects of babies' ways of being in group care, Part II examines the complex roles of infant-toddler professionals and the critical importance of supportive and caring environments. Readers will explore the elements needed for in-depth and specialized professional preparation, including overarching principles of relationship-based practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBook Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003eIlluminates particular and understudied ways that infants and toddlers actively contribute to their own social learning and development.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eShares how teachers learn to engage with and nurture infants' and toddlers' social capacities and experiences within child care settings.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eUses anecdotes and vignettes from the authors' research and practice with infants, toddlers, and caregivers to bring their experiences to life.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eDiscusses themes that are important and unique for infancy and toddlerhood, such as play, friendships, humor, and professional love.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003ePresents a unique set of chapters that reveal infants' and toddlers' perspectives, while also considering the caregiver's actions within a responsive care framework.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1.  Introduction: Ways of Thinking About, Talking About, and Taking Steps Toward Social Inclusion\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The Many Faces of Inclusion\u003cbr\u003eThe Need to Broaden the Research Framework\u003cbr\u003eTraditional Ways of Looking at Inclusion \u003cbr\u003eA Challenge to the Dominant Discourse about Inclusion\u003cbr\u003eAn Inclusive Learning Environment: Classroom Components and Teacher Competencies \u003cbr\u003eOrganization of the Book\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2.  Welcoming Children with Disabilities to the Table: Classroom Components that Value Individual Differences\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e What Researchers Say about the Social Competencies of Young Children with Special Needs\u003cbr\u003ePositive Responses to Diversity of Ability\u003cbr\u003eMario's Story: Meeting the Needs of a Child with Cognitive Delays Who Is Motivated to Play with Others\u003cbr\u003eAdam's Story: Meeting the Needs of a Child with Physical Disabilities Who Is Highly Motivated to Move Independently\u003cbr\u003eJoey's Story: Meeting the Needs of a Child with Social Challenges Who Demonstrates Unusual Social Behaviors \u003cbr\u003eFinal words: Bridging Developmental Differences\u003cbr\u003eHow Can You Make a Difference?Questions for Further Reflection\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3.  Rethinking Social Inclusion: Classroom Components That Empower All Children\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e What Other Researchers Say about Social Inclusion of Children with Challenging or Inappropriate Behaviors\u003cbr\u003eIra's Story: Dealing with a Child Who Is Marginalized in the Classroom\u003cbr\u003eCody's Story: Responding to an Aggressive Child\u003cbr\u003eAbigail's Story: Dealing with a Quiet Child Who Loses the Teachers' Attention'\u003cbr\u003eFinal Words: ''Moving toward Inclusive Classrooms That Value  Everyone\u003cbr\u003eHow Can you Make a Difference?
