Recenzii

This book approaches the subject of health and well-being in a multi dimensional manner. It addresses the subject from biopsychological, psychoneurobiological and ecological systems models to bring together wide-ranging evidence on what matters to young children's physical, social and mental well-being. It is a comprehensive book that will be of use to early years professionals concerned with how to understand, promote and support families and young children in developing resilience, self-esteem, physical health, emotional stability and relational strength. From brain structure and its processes to nutrition, attachment, emotion coaching, systemic factors - economic and social - affecting well-being, this book covers many fundamental and interrelated themes. Several features including Mindful Moments ensure that the reader takes time to reflect on the content and its implications as well as providing summaries, further reading and resources. Added to all of this, it is an enjoyable read.

‘In an age where the policy emphasis is firmly on educational outcomes and school readiness in the early years,  this book offers a welcome and long overdue focus on the ways in which children’s brain development and education is intimately connected to health and well-being.  Written in a research informed yet accessible way, this is a really valuable addition to the literature and essential reading for all professionals who work with young children.’
