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.
‘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.’
