1. GENERAL INTRODUCTION.

SAY TO CAREGIVER: Next, I am going to video-record you and [CHILD] playing with some materials. We want to see your faces throughout the activity. Please make sure that your hair does not cover your faces.

IF MOTHER/CAREGIVER OR CHILD IS WEARING A HAT: We need to see your face(s) clearly in the video. Please take off your hat(s) just for this task. Thank you.

Once we start, I’d like to complete the activity without interruptions. It will take about 15 minutes. If you or [CHILD] needs a break, now would be a good time. Also, I would like for you to silence your cell phone ringer or turn off your phone for the next 15 minutes. Can you please do that now?

PAUSE TO ALLOW CAREGIVER TO SILENCE/TURN OFF PHONE.

If you have a land line and it rings in the next 15 minutes, I ask that you let the call go to voicemail. If someone rings the doorbell, I would appreciate if someone else took care of it, or, if you wouldn’t mind, I could answer it. Is that OK?

Once the activity starts, I cannot say anything to [CHILD] and can only talk to you [LOOK AT THE CAREGIVER] when necessary. If [CHILD] tries to talk to me or play with me, please talk to [CHILD] and ask [CHILD] to play with you.

IF OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS ARE PRESENT, ADD:

Could you please let the other people in the [house/apartment] know that you’ll need some time now without interruptions? If you wouldn’t mind, if any family members forget and come into this area while we are recording, I will ask them to leave so that you are not interrupted.

Please give me a few minutes to set up.

START OF THE TASK

1. TURN ON THE CAMERA AND START RECORDING.

2. SAY TO CAREGIVER: First, I need to record your ID number.

RECORD SIGNBOARD – LOCATED ON THE BACK OF THIS RECORD FORM

HOLD THE SIGNBOARD IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA, CHECK THAT IT IS READABLE. READ THE SIGNBOARD ALOUD AND RECORD IT FOR 15 SECONDS.

3. SAY TO CAREGIVER: Please sit next to [CHILD] on the mat, facing the camera. This activity will take about 15 minutes. Before we begin, let me read you the instructions. READ TASK GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS. Please face the camera and try to stay on the mat. I will let you know when the play time is over and it is time to clean up and put the toys away. Just so you know, all the materials have been cleaned before this visit. Do you have any questions?

4. CONTINUE RECORDING. ADJUST CAMERA FRAMING AS NEEDED SO THE CAREGIVER, CHLD, AND MATERIALS ARE IN THE FRAME.

5. CHECK THAT STOPWATCH IS SET FOR 15-MINUTE COUNTDOWN.

SAY TO THE CAREGIVER: You can begin now.

START THE STOPWATCH.

CHECK FRAMING AND AUDIO INTEGRITY THROUGHOUT THE ACTIVITY.

6. AT THE END OF 15 MINUTES, SAY: That is the end of this activity. Now I’m going to ask you to do something else.
