    Focused DIRECT Observation Vygotsky had focused a lot on scaffolding in which he said it was really helpful in promoting language to children and how to understand children’s solutions. He had also mentioned how teachers need to be very supportive and responsive to the children’s needs. To be observant to the child’s behavior and to try to understand them. Scaffolding is looking at the child and where they're at developmentally and from knowing where they are a teacher finds ways for that child to grow in those developmental areas..

    A recent study on social and emotional risk and protective factors that predict early school problems or success found that "children who do not begin kindergarten socially and emotionally competent are often not successful in the early years of school—and can be plagued by behavioral, emotional, academic, and social development problems that follow them into adulthood (U.S Department of Health and Human Services). " Creating a positive social relationship is an important outcome of preschool, possibly more important is avoiding social isolation. Research shows that it is possible to predict as early as preschool the kind of children who will have social and academic problems, because they are already either overlooked or casted off by other children. To develop positive social relationships it is important to build relationships with parents so that children feel safe, secure, and comfortable with their teachers.
