Early Interactions : Working with under Threes Responding to Children's Needs

Booknews

Parents, university lecturers, nursery managers, researchers, and teachers write about their own experiences with very young children, and how they translate their beliefs into practice. Through their diversity weaves a common conviction that the needs of children should influence what they are offered, and that they are due respect both as young learners and as people in their own right. Among the perspectives are a parent and a childminder working together, nurturing a sense of self, supporting all children learning to talk and talking to learn, and equality. A companion volume considers training and professional development. Distributed in the US by Taylor & Francis. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
