Understanding Children's Development in the Early Years

Understanding Children's Development in the Early Years provides an overview of children's personal, social, emotional and moral development, so that practitioners come to understand the complex interaction of factors that give children an individual profile of abilities and differences.

Christine Macintyre has worked with practitioners in many settings and has gathered a range of frequently asked questions from both experienced and new staff. Here, she provides strategies and solutions that practitioners can amend to suit individual children or groups of children in their own learning environments.

Full of helpful advice for early years practitioners on how to enhance our understanding of very young children, this highly practical book contains many examples taken from a variety of real-life nursery practices and case studies that provide interesting and thought-provoking scenarios.
