Popis: This chapter draws attention to the importance of educators’ affective pedagogy in transitory moments. The chapter uses a case example to uncover the importance of transitory moments that are often invisible to educators. Educators’ awareness of transitory moments contributes to educators’ affective pedagogies. Discussion of a case example includes educators’ acknowledgment of motives when affectively engaging a small group of infant-toddlers in sandpit play. The educators’ engagement/motivation pursues affective creation of group togetherness through encouragement with a ‘gentle push’ in a sandbox play activity setting. When educators acknowledge infant-toddlers’ motives, and capture the transitory moments, they are able to offer a ‘gentle push’ through affective actions to motivate infant-toddlers play exploration and group learning.
