Circle Time

This highly practical book explains how to put principles for early years education into practice through well-structured and purposeful circle time sessions.

It includes accessible guidance on:

• incorporating the curriculum for personal, social and emotional development
• enabling children to understand universal moral skills
• developing young children's emotional intelligence
• helping them to practise problem-solving skills. 

Each chapter in this book explains circle time in a 'why? what? how?' format, and includes tick-sheets, bullet-pointed pages and plenty of examples of how the rationale works in practice. Early years practitioners in nurseries, pre-schools and schools will find this an invaluable yet extremely fun approach to teaching young children about their feelings and their relationships.
