It explores the concept of school readiness by unpicking what the term means for children and how See Page 8 for we can define it in the context of more books by the characteristics of effective learning. This Tamsin Grimmer includes ideas for promoting playing and exploring, active learning and creating and thinking critically. The book also considers how we can ensure schools are ready to receive children and suggests ways in which preschools and nurseries can work collaboratively with schools and engage parents and carers to ensure a smooth transition. With large numbers of children starting school unprepared, this book gives vital guidance on understanding, assessing and ensuring school readiness.

“The aim of this book is to contribute to the debate, while putting children’s needs and considerations very much at the forefront, and acknowledging all of the key players - school, setting, policy makers, parents, children, press... But most of all children are central to the discussion because they are the ones who will be starting school and undergoing major changes in their daily routine and in the expectations placed on them... This is an excellent book.” – Early Years Educator (EYE)

Using Picture Books to Enhance Children’s Social and Emotional Literacy

more books by This direct guide supports practitioners in Debbie Garvey nurturing personal, social and emotional development (PSED) in young children by demystifying brain development research. Condensing a wealth of recent research and theory around PSED into practical guidance, it gives professionals the knowledge and understanding they need to critically evaluate their own practice and find the best course of action to support PSED in young children. From the perspective of neuroscience, it explores what can help or hinder development, considers why some children bite and why toddlers have tantrums, and questions how wellintentioned actions, such as reward systems or putting new foods on a plate for children to ‘just try’, may be misguided.

Shows what early years settings can do to encourage positive behaviour and support the development of children. Drawing on her extensive practical experience, Liz Williams provides a highly accessible and much-needed guide to promoting positive behaviour in early years settings.

She demonstrates that social and emotional capacities differ greatly in these crucial development years and how this impacts on the support needed at each stage. The book considers a host of factors influencing positive behaviour, such as environments and the importance of planning, and looks beyond the child to show the vital role that staff and parents have in promoting appropriate behaviour. Written in clear and understandable language, this book is full of ideas that early years workers can easily implement.

This book introduces the latest research into ways for professionals to encourage the development of these skills in children’s groups.

A step-by-step guide to enabling and harnessing the potential of children’s voices to transform the settings that form part of their everyday lives. How do you ensure that children’s voices and ideas are heard and valued in relation to the settings that form part of their everyday lives? Presenting an easy to adopt step-by-step framework, this book argues in favour of children’s potential to advocate for themselves, in contrast to the current model in which adults take full control and advocate on the child’s behalf. By honouring and harnessing the involvement and contributions of children, social workers and education professionals will be able to improve their daily practice and positively transform key spaces within society to create environments where children experience a sense of belonging and purpose, full of potential benefits for both adults and children. Practical at its core, the book has wide applications, from examining the place of children in legal matters, such as divorce, through to the child’s engagement in decisions about their education. International case studies reveal how the model works in practice and encourages children’s voices and their participation.

Positive emotional health in a child’s earliest years can be a critical factor in their future development. Offering practical suggestions for games, activities and exercises designed to promote emotional wellbeing in young children, this essential guide showcases a wide range of approaches such as mindfulness and meditation, Forest School and Reggio Emilia to provide a hands-on reference for teachers and parents. Drawing on over 25 years’ experience as an early years professional, the author explores topics including playfulness, stillness, sensory play, creativity and staff wellbeing. Each topic references current best practices and international examples, and also includes a comprehensive list of further resources and activities. Providing an informative introduction to both theory and practice, this book demonstrates easy-to-implement ideas for any professional or parent engaging with young children.

Observing and understanding schematic behaviour confidently is vital for anyone working with or looking after young children. This guide explains what schemas are, stripping back the technical language often used to describe them, and how to interpret and extend schematic behaviour to benefit the child. It looks specifically at 12 different schemas, such as connection, rotation and transportation, and includes case studies, interpretation of the observations and practical ideas for how to use this information to aid children’s learning, development and play M a k i n g s c h e m a s a n d s c h e m at i c b e h av i o u r m o re understandable, this book will give early years practitioners and parents the confidence to identify schemas and plan future learning opportunities to support children based on this knowledge.

“Each chapter begins with a stated objective, which makes it easy to identify sections for re-reading or reference if you are dipping into the book to freshen up your knowledge…” – Early Years Educator (EYE) Magazine

The ability to attend, to listen and to look are prerequisites to all forms of learning. By facilitating children’s attention and listening skills, we are able to give them a better chance of achieving their potential in communication, speech and language, and therefore learning skills. Attention and Listening in the Early Years is an innovative course designed for groups of children aged 2-4. Each group session is planned around a theme such as ‘The Farm’ or ‘The Zoo’. The themes provide an anchor for the children to gain meaning from the listening activities, games and songs that will help them learn to sit still, not talk, look at the speaker and think about the words - all vital skills in good listening. Complete with full instructions, including lists of the equipment needed for each session and the auditory and visual objectives of each activity, the book also includes photocopiable detailed preparation plans and shorter prompt plans for use during the sessions. Each session should run for no longer than 15 to 25 minutes, and will be a fun and fruitful alternative to traditional circle-time for early years practitioners such as playgroup and preschool leaders, and speech and language therapists.

Young Children’s Rights

Exploring Beliefs, Principles and Practice Second Edition Priscilla Alderson Foreword by Mary John,Rob Gayton 2008 • £19.99 • $39.95 • PB • 240PP • WORLD RIGHTS AVAILABLE • ISBN-9781843105992 • EISBN-9781846427749

A thought-provoking invitation to rethink our attitudes to young children’s rights in the light of new theories, research and practical evidence about children’s daily lives. Published in association with Save the Children. Priscilla Alderson examines the often overlooked issue of the rights of young children, starting with the question of how the 1989 UN Convention on the Rights of the Child applies to the youngest children, from birth to eight years of age. The question of finding a balance between young children’s rights to protection, to provision (resources and services) and to participation (expressing their views, being responsible) is discussed. The author suggests that, in the belief we are looking after their best interests, we have become overprotective of children and deny them the freedom to be expressive, creative and active, and that improving the way adults and children communicate is the best way of redressing that balance. This second edition has been updated and expanded to include the relevance of UNCRC rights of premature babies, international examples such as the Chinese one-child policy, children’s influence on regional policies, and the influence on young children’s lives of policies such as Every Child Matters and those of the World Bank, IMF, OECD and UNICEF. “This book gives an accesssible introduction to the complex subject of children’s rights, suitable for most practitioners working with young children.” – The Teacher

The Kid’s Guide to Gender Identity Brook Pessin-Whedbee

EISBN-9781784508234

An illustrated children’s book about gender identity and gender expression to help children aged 4+ engage with ideas about gender. At lunchtime, all of Tom’s friends gather at school to work together building their house. Each one of them has a special job to do, and each one of them has a different way of expressing their gender identity. Jackson is a boy who likes to wear dresses. Ivy is a girl who likes her hair cut really short. Alex doesn’t feel like ‘just’ a boy, or ‘just’ a girl. They are all the same, they are all different - but they are all friends. An engaging story that is more than just an educational tool; this book will assist parents and teachers in giving children the space to explore the full spectrum of gender diversity and will show children the many ways they can express their gender in a truly positive light. Lunchtime is our favourite part of the day.

Sam is a boy. He loves to wear his hair long. His favourite sport is basketball.

Sometimes, when he plays basketball, he wears his hair in a ponytail.

Insightful reflections from one family’s experience of raising children amidst gender stereotypes. From language and clothes, to toys and the media, society inflicts unwritten rules on each gender from birth. Aiming to make people aware of the way gender is constructed and constantly reinforced, this diary chronicles the differences two parents noticed while raising their son and daughter. Adapted from tweets and blogs the couple kept throughout parenthood, this collection shows how culture, family and even the authors themselves are part of the ‘gender police’ that can influence a child’s identity, and offers ideas for how we can work together to challenge the gender stereotypes that are ingrained in our society.

Helping staff and practitioners explore gender diversity and sexuality in early years settings. Aiding discussion of gender diversity and sexuality with very young children, this practical guide helps practitioners explore these themes in early years settings. Promoting and extending current good practice, the book offers advice and activities that will support children in discovering their identity and also demonstrates how to work with parent This guide presents a background to gender theory alongside examples and case studies, showing that activities and settings can work together for children to recognise their full potential in a supportive environment. This book addresses a wide variety of topics such as staff training and team management, how to support and promote men working in childcare, transgender issues and ways practice can be challenged, to give those working with young children a great foundation for teaching about diversity. Proposing aims that early years practitioners can work towards and providing practical ideas to take directly in to the workplace, this hands-on guide sets out to create and encourage outstanding practice for all professionals teaching young children.

“The book is full of searching questions, practical ideas and suggestions that all practitioners can implement - a straightforward tool to help any setting ensure that good equality and diversity practice is the cornerstone of their work.”

A unique and honest children’s book helping children under 5 understand what dementia is and how it affects their relatives. ‘Sometimes, a person’s brain gets sick with a disease called dementia.’ What does dementia do to the brain? And how can we help if someone we know, like a parent or a grandparent, has the disease? This book breaks down misconceptions about dementia and speaks directly to children aged under 5 about the realities of the disease, using age appropriate language in an engaging and informative way. It reassures parents of the value of open and honest conversation about the challenges raised by dementia and offers advice and support in the opening ‘Guide for grown ups’. It includes a diverse audience of characters, to emphasise that ANY child can be impacted by dementia in their loved ones. Unlike traditional storybooks, the ending provides a question for the adult and child reading it to ponder together.

A moving illustrated book to help children understand that sometimes it’s OK to feel sad. “Sometimes I feel sad. Everybody does. Sometimes it’s because I’ve lost something. Or because I’m hurt. Other times I don’t know why I feel sad. I just do.” Feeling sad is, unfortunately, a part of everyone’s life, and there’s not always an easy fix. This touching book helps explain to children that they’re not alone in feeling this way, and is especially useful for children who struggle to express their feelings. Sometimes it doesn’t. “This book makes me happy. And I like the ducks!” – Elijah, age 6

“My book about brains, change and dementia’ offers a fantastic way to help parents communicate to a child the complex and often difficult task of explaining the disease.” – Takaya Honda, ABC Playschool, Neighbours

The White Rabbit teaches a lonely child to express their feelings in this touching picture book aimed at children aged 4-10 on the autism spectrum or with communication problems. In this tale we meet a child sitting alone, feeling unable to join in with the other schoolchildren having fun in the playground. Feeling frustrated and lonely, the child’s emotions build up until they form a bubble around them, separating them entirely. Who can help the child? Suddenly a White Rabbit appears, who presents easy and playful ways to get the child to express their feelings. Each time the child says what they like and don’t like, it helps to create a hole in the bubble, opening the child up to the wider world. Through delightful illustrations and photographs, this picture book helps children who struggle with social isolation find a way to communicate with those around them. It can be read by children themselves or with adults as a learning tool, helping children learn to express their feelings through the use of visual communication cards.

Therapeutic children’s story about Winston the Wallaby, who never seems able to sit still. This illustrated storybook explains hyperactivity through the story of Winston Wallaby and his uncontrollable bouncing at school. It allows children with ADHD, SPD & ASD to recognise and support their additional sensory needs. A helpful introduction for parents/carers and appendices with strategies to be used at home and in school are included.

“Adults will find the advice portion of the book to be a treasure of well-organized tips and suggestions.” – Joel Shaul, LCSW is the author of The ASD Feel Better Book

“The messages and implications of this book could be written in many hefty volumes. The great value of this little story book is its brevity, and eminent accessibility to adults and children alike.” – Tony Attwood, The Minds and Hearts Clinic, Brisbane

“This book offers many different practical strategies and activities to promote resilience in children with autism. Every parent should read this book.”

A frank and funny account of parenting twins with autism, with top tips for parents. What if the things people need to know about autism is not the information they’re getting? Combining myth-busting advice with personal experience, this book from the mother of autistic twins shares simple strategies to build children’s confidence, communication, and independence. From sharing the joy of yodelling around shops at the weekend, to finding creative ways to communicate with both her verbal and her non-verbal sons, Debby Elley gives practical and fun tips for everyday living and shows that being autistic is just another way of being. Both witty and candid, the book discusses labels, meltdowns, acceptance, happiness and much more.

EISBN-9781784506391

A simple but sage guide for adults on how to support sensitive boys. What do Pablo Picasso, Prince and Martin Luther King Jr have in common? All have been described as having been highly sensitive boys and all grew up to be outstanding, sensitive men. Too often, adults think of sensitive boys as shy, anxious and inhibited. They are measured against society’s ideas about ‘manliness’ -- that all boys are sociable, resilient and have endless supplies of energy. This highly readable guide is for any adult wanting to know how to understand and celebrate sensitive boys. It describes how thinking about boys in such old-fashioned ways can cause great harm, and make a difficult childhood all the more painful. The book highlights the real strengths shared by many sensitive boys - of being compassionate, highly creative, thoughtful, fiercely intelligent and witty. It also flips common negative clichés about sensitive boys being shy, anxious and prone to bullying to ask instead: what we can do to create a supportive environment in which they will flourish? Full of simple yet sage advice, this book will help you to encourage boys to embrace their individuality, find their own place in the world, and to be the best they can be.

A guide to understanding the emotional needs of traumatised children, featuring a unique attachment-informed assessment and treatment model. Bringing together the latest research and theory about a child’s inner world and the impact of the world around them, this is a guide to understanding and responding to the emotional needs of traumatised children. Founded on the principle that traumatised children do not have a secure sense of self and therefore cannot relate to the outside world without becoming overwhelmed, this book brings psychoanalytic and psychodynamic understandings of child psychology together with current neuroscience and trauma theory. At the heart of the book is an attachment-informed assessment model and guidance for treatment. Professionals working therapeutically with traumatised children, including therapists, psychologists, psychiatrists, mental health workers, social workers and residential care workers, will benefit from the wealth of knowledge and valuable practice guidance presented in this book.

Considers the role of men in the early years sector and provides guidance on attracting, recruiting, retaining and developing them This book explores the role of male professionals in early years settings and provides guidance for early years practitioners, managers and policy makers on building a more mixed-gender workforce by successfully attracting, recruiting, retaining and developing men in their teams. Men make up less than 2% of the early years workforce in England. This book considers the reasons for the current situation, asks whether there is a case for change and suggests ways of achieving a more mixed-gender early years workforce. The voices of male and female practitioners, providers and parents help to illustrate the barriers to men entering and successfully working in the sector, whilst also suggesting ways these barriers can be broken down.

Tips and guidance on how to listen to and involve children in decisions and evaluations in early years settings Starting with a discussion about why we listen to children and the policies around this, the book explains how we can involve children in decision-making that is appropriate to their age and level of understanding. Packed full of examples and ideas that can be easily applied in practice, it covers how to listen to children’s perspectives and involve them in staff recruitment and appraisals, classroom design, assessment processes for social services and EHC plans, and much more.
