Young Children Learning by Barbara Tizard

Young Children Learning by Barbara Tizard

* Fascinating account of an unusual research project challenges many assumptions about how young children. * Turns upside-down the commonly held belief that professionals know better than parents how to educate and bring up children.

'The positive and extremely important message that comes from 'Young Children Learning' is that young children learn a great deal of value in the most informal of settingsThe evidence that Barbara Tizard and Martin Hughes present to support this conclusion is convincing and stimulating.' Peter Bryant, Oxford University
