Professional Dialogues in the Early Years

Edited by Ian Menter (Critical publishing, £20)

A short collection of academic essays providing discussion topics for common challenges faced by early years practitioners. It offers critical insights into the challenges involved in trying to counteract the downward ethical, social and emotional pressures on an often undervalued sector. It explores the concept of professional dialogue, which runs through the book, as well as focusing on values, the learning relationship and family, and cultural contexts for learning.
