This book provides some answers to these complex questions, in a straightforward, accessible way. Parts 1 and 2 offer students and practitioners a strong theoretical framework within which to explore ways of developing and extending their work with children and families, and with each other, including guidance on observation and assessment for planning. Part 3 provides practical strategies based on work involving families from a range of ethnic backgrounds, children's centre staff, local authority advisers, childminders, additional needs teachers and health visitors. Linking with the Early Years Foundation Stage, the book examines developing the key person approach, the power of play and making the most of everyday experiences. Part 4 discusses wellbeing for parents and practitioners, and collective wellbeing in settings and communities.
Essential reading for anyone studying early childhood, and for managers and practitioners working with young children and their families, this book is an inspirational guide to developing a framework for wellbeing from birth.
This text reflects the current thinking on develping strategies to encourage attitudes to wellbeing which include mental health issues. Hopefully the themes will be extended to look at later ages and stages of young people's wellbeing.
This book has been purchased by the college on my recommendation and several students have purchased a copy as well. It is a highly informative and well written book.
The book does not cover the information taught within the specific module.
What an excellent book covering a very wide range of pertinent topics in a really accessible way.
An excellent text in an under represented area in the current literature
Lots of theoretic issues, that link with current practice. I will try to urge my learners to purchase this book.
