Description
This book explores cognitive, social, emotional, language and physical development from conception to five drawing on research evidence to identify the key factors that impact on young children's learning. Drawing on a range of international contexts, it reveals how policy and practice can directly influence outcomes for children. With a strong focus on engaging with children and their families, the authors examine what is meant by quality interactions and sets out the key skills adults need to support early learning. Including case studies, examples and reflective activities, this timely text will give readers the knowledge and understanding they need to enhance their practice.
