Description
A practical introduction to early childhood education covering ages 0 to 8, but focusing on 0 to 5, this text emphasizes the need to understand child growth and development, developmentally appropriate practice, diversity, positive guidance, and the importance of working with families and the community. By using a multitude of dialogues, case studies, and anecdotes as examples, the author helps the students make the connection between theory and practice. This book is particularly applicable in courses taught in family studies and child development.
