0	Ignores or declines
	Child ignores or declines invitation.
1	Accepts with encouragement
	Child accepts invitation with encouragement (i.e., “It’s really fun.”). Child may spend most of this period watching the E play with the toys or engaging in parallel play with the E. Throughout, though, the sense is the child would be happier if the E wasn’t there. Quality of toy play may be lower during this period than when the E was sitting quietly.
2	Accepts; more interest in toys than E
	Child accepts invitation immediately. Child responds avidly to E’s play initiations, but otherwise seems more interested in the toys than in playing WITH the E and the toys.
3	Accepts; equal interest in toys & E
	Child accepts invitation immediately, responds to E’s play initiations and makes play initiations to the E, handing her toys, sharing her experiences with the E verbally and non-verbally. However, the overall sense is that the toys are as important as playing with the E.
4	Accepts; more interest in E than toys
	Child accepts invitation immediately, responds to and initiates interactions with the E. Keeps E responding throughout the together play time. The strong sense is that while the toys are interesting, playing with the E is the child’s bigger goal.
