Recenzii
‘This book is essential reading for all involved in the study of early childhood, addressing key themes, ideas and topical debates relevant for early childhood students at undergraduate level. The Editors have provided a lucid, readable and clear contribution to our knowledge and understanding of early childhood.’
‘This book is a welcome addition to the growing scholarly publications about children in the Early Years. The case studies bring the subject matter to life. The points for reflection will help to develop the vital skill of reflective practice. I particularly enjoyed reading "upholding children's rights in early years settings. It was refreshing to see that the rights of babies are highlighted in the chapter.’
This is an invaluable addition to anyone’s early years library, with particular relevance for students (specifically those studying at levels four and five of their early childhood degrees) and tutors. The book covers key topics, such as children’s rights; the early years curriculum; how children learn and develop; health and wellbeing. It is a book that would thoroughly support any student making the transition to honours level study. There are some terrific little reflection activities aiming to implement good theory into practice in a helpful and purposeful way. A particularly interesting and influential chapter is the one around neuroscientific findings and how these are shaping and influencing early childhood policy.
So far in my studies this book has been very helpful during my research as it has covered the majority of areas in my course.
I like how the book is split into sections with the names of those who have written it as this makes it much easier when it comes to referencing. Having the glossary has also been very useful when looking for specific information.
I particularly found chapter 1 very useful and it gave me an idea of what my course would include, and it prepared me for what was ahead.
So far, I haven’t found any faults with the book, it has done everything that I would expect it to.
I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is starting a degree in Early Years.
