This book serves as a vital resource for both students and practitioners aiming to adopt a holistic perspective on early childhood. It masterfully navigates through the complex terrain of childhood theories, employing a child-centered narrative approach that bridges the gap between contemporary and traditional theorists. The book provides readers with ample opportunities to engage in reflection and contemplation, courtesy of carefully selected case studies examples from practice.
Just love this book. Theory forms a large part of our course and the students will gain valuable information from this . Its written in a more realistic way instead of being academically stuffy it its approach. Love it.
This book gives a detailed account of a range of theorists we use to understand practice; great for students writing assignments where reference to theory is needed.
Very straightforward text, will be a supportive source for each year of our programme, but particularly the first year. Good to see more contemporary theorists included.
This book gives a comprehensive overview of the EC theories covered on our programmes. It is an easy read for students who are able to connect with the theories discussed and relate them to their practice.
Clear essential reading for level 4, 5 and 6 students allows them to analyse information to start putting a critique to their work
