Guiding Young Children, 9th edition

For courses on the Guidance/Management of Young Children

Guiding Young Children provides practical, down-to-earth information about child guidance, grounded in the latest theory and research. The emphasis of the book is on developing human potential - helping children to become everything they can be. There is a strong focus on considering a child's developmental level as well as family and cultural context when planning environments and activities for young children. Simple, straightforward explanations and a clear organisation make this text accessible and appealing. Far from a dull, theoretical approach, this edition shows both students and practitioners how to do effective child guidance in the world the way it really is.
