ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book presents an analysis of interactions between children aged two and a half to five years and their early childhood teachers during their daily activities inside and outside of their early childhood education centre. It explores the issues of physical safety and well-being are linked to the environment, where the excerpts increasingly demonstrate how category R collection is made omni-relevant as these relational issues are attended to as a priority by the members present. The omni-relevance of managing illness in relational ways is then demonstrated through a single case analysis of an ill child. The teachers demonstrate their joint interest in children's tellings where they explicitly prompt a telling from a child; this prompting is evidenced in prior work on relationships in storytelling, in formal psychotherapy interactions and less formal situations where teachers prompt children's emotional tellings about difficult situations.
