What is your answer so far or What have you done so far as an attempt to solve this question?
I have tried to do some research and read the following text books to try and understand this question... I still don't understand what I need to write down.

Description and Message:

The educator, Jill, shows Archie (13 months) the music maker. ‘I wonder what this does, Archie?’
Archie looks intently but does not attempt to press any buttons. Jill pauses, allowing Archie to
explore the music maker.

Jill then presses one of the buttons – she continues to maintain eye contact with Archie.
Educator: ‘Oh what’s that noise? Can you make a noise Archie? You press the buttons.’
Archie places his hand on the buttons and gets an instant response. He laughs and bangs his hand on
the buttons to make more sounds.

The educator smiles and responds: ‘Archie’s making music. Clever boy, Archie!’
Jill and Archie continue to play and interact.
