Developmental scholars have long been interested in documenting the social experiences that help explain within - and between - group variation in children's early language and
learning.1, 2 This work is anchored in the writings
of scholars
such as Bruner3, 4 and Vygotsky, 5 who posited that
learning occurs in a socio - cultural context in which adults and primary caregivers support or «scaffold» young children to
higher levels of thinking and acting.
From a socio - cultural viewpoint, cognitively responsive behaviours (e.g. maintaining versus redirecting interests, rich verbal input) are thought to facilitate
higher levels of learning because they provide a structure or scaffold for the young child's immature skills,
such as developing attentional and cognitive capacities.9 Responsive behaviours in this framework promote joint engagement and reciprocity in the parent - child interaction and help a child
learn to assume a more active and ultimately independent role in the
learning process.10 Responsive support for the child to become actively engaged in solving problems is often referred to as parental scaffolding, and is also thought to be key for facilitating children's development
of self - regulation and executive function skills, behaviours that allow the child to ultimately assume responsibility for their well - being.11, 12
