Popis: To understand the early emergence of occupations, this paper suggests occupational scientists need to look for the little things infants do to participate in routine occupations of the people around them. This participation creates an interpersonal workspace where infants’ behaviors reflect the caregiving practices of the culture they were born into. Empirical research supports the idea that infants experience the action of people as intentional. Furthermore, when infants are actively engaged in doing things, this experience primes the infant to attend more to others doing the same thing. Though limited by physical immaturity, infants’ intentional coordination of action suggests a growing understanding of how to act. An embodied understanding of infants reflects their emotional responses so early participation is something they strive to do.
