Now in an updated second edition, The Wellbeing of Children under Three unravels what wellbeing means for this age group by making clear links between research and effective early years practice. It looks at what wellbeing means for under threes in the light of key aspects of international social policy, and practically demonstrates how practitioners can support children in this area.
Focusing on the home-setting partnership with parents, work attitudes, adult-child interaction and quality learning environments, the book explores the role that adults play in holistically supporting children-s individual personal, social and emotional needs. This new edition also includes new material on practitioner mental health and the Leuven scales as a measure of wellbeing. Each chapter features:
- clear explanation of relevant theories
- case studies and examples of good practice
- focus points for readers
