Nurturing Personal, Social and Emotional Development in Early Childhood by Debbie Garvey
An understanding of brain development can help early years practitioners to better nurture personal, social and emotional development in children. This book explains recent research and theory in easy-to-understand terms and explores how this knowledge can be used to support the needs of young children.
In this remarkable book, Debbie Garvey has brilliantly analysed both the reasons and the techniques for nurturing PSEDFrom theory and neuroscience to lifelong practice via well meaning, wellbeing and the importance of listening, Debbie explains it all in a thoroughly engaging, affable style. Most importantly, she inspires genuine, and sometimes challenging, self-reflection on practice, using some novel, intriguing and effective methods. -- Kathy Brodie, Early Years Professional and Trainer
In this stimulating and provocative book Debbie Garvey has provided inspiring and practical narratives, underpinned by neuroscientific evidence and a clear values set, which creates a reflective and action focused agenda for all those who work with young children. I believe anyone who reads this book will be inspired and motivated to challenge and extend their thinking and professional practice, adopting the critical and nurturing stance which lies at the heart of quality services for children and families. -- Professor Chris Pascal, Director, Centre for Research in Early Childhood

This book is designed to challenge thinking and aid reflective practice, to consider whether current practices are fit-for-purpose, and whether you are fully supporting young children. This is accomplished through debate on theory, case studies and numerous examples of best practice.
The final chapter brings everything together by looking at how the theory of the preceding chapters can be turned into lifelong practice. This is an excellent book that will both challenge and inspire you.
