Doin' Our Own Thing!!
We had a jam along with the egg shakers. None of the kids ended up joined our jammin' circle. The were all at the other end of the room playing together. They were looking at each other, smiling, laughing with each other, and touching each other. They were bonding on a deeper level than a jam along.
We allowed it to happen without trying to manage them to participate in the jam along. All of us adults were in our circle looking at each other, smiling, and laughing: bonding.
Did I mention that these are 2 year olds? So much for parallel play!!!

So much for parallel play, eh?
So much the "experts" don't know. Wouldn't you agree?
