Jan's mother has provided scaffolding by using a special pump dispenser to help Jan with her breakfast. Scaffolding refers to the support and guidance provided by a more knowledgeable other in order to help a learner master a task or concept. In this case, Jan's mother has provided a tool (the pump dispenser) that allows Jan to access the milk on her own, with just the right amount of assistance.
