This book provides some answers to these complex questions, in a straightforward, accessible way. Parts 1 and 2 offer students and practitioners a strong theoretical framework within which to explore ways of developing and extending their work with children and families, and with each other, including guidance on observation and assessment for planning. Part 3 provides practical strategies based on work involving families from a range of ethnic backgrounds, children's centre staff, local authority advisers, childminders, additional needs teachers and health visitors. Linking with the Early Years Foundation Stage, the book examines developing the key person approach, the power of play and making the most of everyday experiences. Part 4 discusses wellbeing for parents and practitioners, and collective wellbeing in settings and communities.
Essential reading for anyone studying early childhood, and for managers and practitioners working with young children and their families, this book is an inspirational guide to developing a framework for wellbeing from birth.

I love this book, as a mother and a professional. The chapters on wellbeing and relationships are great. The chapter about investing in wellbeing is really interesting, practical advice about observation, assessment & planning. Page 82 - companionable meals is a lovely example.

This book will help provide a thorough understanding of the key issues relating to child development, in particular emotional well being. Students who are undertaking a piece of research would find this knowledge useful when deciding to use more creative methods for obtaining data from children.
