Popis: This chapter draws on the cultural-historical concept of double subjectivity in play. The educators’ affective positioning in infant-toddlers’ play is explored and how educators affectively engage young children in play is discussed. A case example given in relation to infant-toddlers’ interests and motives, reveals the effectiveness of affective positioning in play. We argue that educators can apply affective pedagogical positions, while engaged in infant-toddlers’ play. This can support the development of educators’ dynamic reciprocal interactions with infant-toddlers, to achieve deep-level learning. We highlight the need to better understand pedagogical questioning in play activity settings where educators interact with infant-toddlers.
