ABSTRACT
The small bright living room is outfitted as a playroom furnished with shelves spilling over with preschool toys and learning materials. A computer is near at hand on a small desk with a child's chair facing it. Mom sits on the floor opposite her curly-haired son, holding up picture cards and asking him to name them. After each correct response, Mom laughs, claps her hands, and enthusiastically praises her son as she rolls a colorful ball in his direction for him to swat back to her. Dad leans forward on the edge of his wooden chair, which has been pulled into the doorway to the room, following the playful activity with keen eyes, ready to jump in at an opportune time.
