Children "operate" on their environment to achieve rewards or refrain  from punishments. 

This relates to our age group because children ages 2-3 will alter their behaviors due to their consequences or rewards that are given. If a negative outcome  occurs from a child's behavior then the child most likely will change their behavior. If they notice a positive behavior, then they will continue the behavior. ]]> 2018-03-07 02:24:38 UTC https://padlet.com/mooneymo/4oxxhgnklls/wish/238976255 branagan https://padlet.com/mooneymo/4oxxhgnklls/wish/238996702 Children are able to engage in many types of play:
