Description
Working with Two-year-olds is an accessible and practical guide into the developmental pathways of two-year-olds. The book uses established research and environmental and cultural effects to provide an essential background on two-year-old development, while incorporating reflective questions and tasks to encourage self-reflection throughout.
Divided into three clear parts, this book covers useful and interesting topics on the development of two-year-olds, such as:
Emotional and social development
Language and communicating
Disposition and mindset
Playful learning
Family life
Physical development
Providing theoretical overviews alongside practical ideas, and consistently encouraging critical self-reflection on all topics covered, Brierley has created an informative and constructive manual for students on Early Childhood courses and for practitioners and childminders on continuing professional development courses alike.
