Supporting Early Childhood Practice Through Difficult Times

"""This fascinating collaboration of national and international perspectives on some extremely topical subjects is going to be a great addition to the literature to support those working in the Early Years sector as well as students studying early childhood. The authors have all shared their research, practice ideas and innovative ways of working which will undoubtedly enable reflection and thought for anyone engaging in the texts. Practitioners within the Early Years sector reading this book are invited to open their minds to a range of both national and international perspectives which will both challenge and influence their practice with young children. With such a vast range of subjects this book would be a great addition for any EY student. The gentle introductory chapters at the start of each section carefully sets the context for the reader to know what to expect, making this a great text for dipping into or (as I did) read in its entirety."" Joanne Benford, Programme Leader for Undergraduate Programmes, Pen Green Centre for Children & Families, UK “This book has an urgent and interesting content for both practitioners, students, and researchers within Early Childhood Education (ECE). The book outlines the current state of ECE in relation to the challenges and possibilities that our world and society are facing. I especially agree with the overall question about how ECE can make a difference in children’s life. But this book also helps me to see ECE as a part of everyone´s life – not only the children´s life.” Charlotte Öhman, University Lecturer and PhD student, Jönköping University, Sweden ""This fascinating collaboration of national and international perspectives on some extremely topical subjects is going to be a great addition to the literature to support those working in the Early Years sector as well as students studying early childhood.
