how to talk and listen to children at different stages
how to be aware of body language and other non-verbal forms of communication
how to support communication for children with special and additional needs
Offering advice, ideas and strategies for supporting relationships and understanding in diverse settings and at home, this book is an essential guide to developing communication and social skills in the early years.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"The author of this book will be well known to readers of this magazine, having written regularly over a number of years. This helpful little book takes a practical look at how practitioners (and, of course, parents) can recognise children's communication abilities and needs, and offers advice on how to support them, and on how to help children develop as expected." - Neil Henty, EYE
