Too Much, Too Soon? by Richard House

Too Much, Too Soon? by Richard House

How to nurture young children's well-being and learning to reverse the erosion of childhood? Children's lives have been speeded up by commercialisation, 'adultification', and the government's 'nappy curriculum' which 'schoolifies' them and pushes quasi-formal learning too soon. Now, in twenty-three hard-hitting chapters, leading educators, researchers, policy makers and parents advocate alternative ways ahead for slowing childhood, better policy-making and, above all, the 'right learning at the right time' in children's growth ? learning when they are developmentally ready.

Richard House, Ph.D. lectures in Early Childhood Studies in the Department of Education Studies, University of Winchester. He is a Steiner kindergarten educator and founder-member of the Open EYE campaign, which has recently merged with Early Childhood Action. With Sue Palmer, he orchestrated the two Daily Telegraph open letters on 'toxic childhood' (2006) and 'play' (2007), and the open letter on the erosion of childhood in 2011. Richard writes extensively on childcare, education and psychotherapeutic issues, including regular columns in Teach Nursery and The Mother magazines. Too Much, Too Soon is Richard's tenth book.
