The book portrays the patterns of relationships in families, the growth of understanding between very young children and adults, and the key aspects of social and emotional development in young children's learning. Through the combination of a fictional family and theoretical commentary, the reader should be able to re-examine their perceptions of young children's behaviour and learning. Suggestions are also given on how to harness the learning potential of children's drive to explore, play and gain control.

Looking at the perspectives both of the child and the adult, it presents thought-provoking ideas and questions on how adults can make the most of opportunities to support the children with whom they live and work. A story, in episodes embedded throughout the book, makes this an accessible and enjoyable read.    In this third edition, there are new and updated chapters on:      •          Young children′s transitions, with a particular focus on starting school   •          Young children′s positive ′learning dispositions′   •          Brain research and its possible implications   •          Further reading, signposting some enchanting children′s books as well as important new texts.      The book explores the basis of the ′key person′ relationship, looking at attachment ′in practice′, and linking developmental issues with the early development of self esteem.

The chapters have reader-friendly layout and the family story woven throughout the book illustrates the main points in a very real way. The content is gleaned from the author′s extensive experience with families in the PEEP project in Oxfordshire. The book is especially effective because the author shows such empathy towards the feelings and dilemmas of caring adults. However, the flow of chapters balances the feelings and behaviour of children as well as that of the adult. There are some practical sections about dealing with children′s behaviour in a way that is respectful of their feelings. The whole approach of the book should be an excellent support for adults. The author shows how children′s development of a healthy level of self-esteem is built up one step at a time, through experiences with important people in their lives, as well as developmentally-appropriate approaches to their learning′ - Nursery World      ′This involvement in a family′s life makes the book fascinating to read, and helps us to understand generalized approaches to raising children′s self-esteem′ - Child Education      `The recommended further reading at the end of each chapter is usefully organised… I feel practitioners will be tempted to take up these recommendations as they are presented in a format which, true to the style of the whole series, is practical, informative and accessible′ - Emma Hertzberg, Goldsmiths Association for Early Childhood      `As an early childhood educator, parent and grandparent, I found the developmental descriptions of the children and the family vignettes provided really authentic pictures of what children are like. The themes of balance, acceptance, understanding, reflection and the importance of play are essential for all those who work with young children to know and understand′ - Carol R Keyes, International Journal of Early Years Education      This book is about the very early development and importance of self-concept and learning dispositions. It shows a rigorous theoretical underpinning (Piaget, Vygotsky, Bruner, Katz, Isaacs, Winnicott; and more recently Bruer, Carr, Gopnik, Karoly et al and Shore) but has been written and presented in a way which is practical and accessible for a wide readership; including parents. The emphasis is on adults′ observation of babies and young children; reflection about what babies and young children see, hear and experience in the course of their development; and strategies to support the development of self esteem and positive learning dispositions. In order to draw in the whole range of relevant issues, it focuses alternatively on the child′s perspective and the adult′s perspective.      This revision builds on the author′s work of the last five years spent developing a programme to support parents and carers with children from birth to four years in disadvantaged areas, to give their children a good start at school and raise educational attainment, especially literacy, in the long term.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49620625129745,"sku":"GOR004103455","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53029410013457,"sku":"GOR002543910","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0761948732.jpg?v=1750701575"},{"product_id":"what-would-the-buddha-recycle-book-rosemary-roberts-9781605501178","title":"What Would the Buddha Recycle?","description":"If the Buddha were alive today, he'd be the living embodiment of green living.

In particular the strong heroines of the yangbanxi, or model works which dominated the Cultural Revolution period, have been seen as genderless revolutionaries whose images were damaging to women. Drawing on contemporary theories ranging from literary and cultural studies to sociology, this book challenges that established view through detailed semiotic analysis of theatrical systems of the yangbanxi including costume, props, kinesics, and various audio and linguistic systems. Acknowledging the complex interplay of traditional, modern, Chinese and foreign gender ideologies as manifest in the 'model works', it fundamentally changes our insights into gender in Maoist culture.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53516820447505,"sku":"NLS9789004177444","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9789004177444.jpg?v=1778286730"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-rosemary-roberts.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
