Covering the age range 0-7 years, this book highlights the speed and complexity of children’s thinking, communicative abilities, social and cultural awareness and physical skills during this period of growth. Observations and case studies are used to demonstrate the learning that goes on in a variety of homes and early years settings.
"Marian Whitehead''s re-focused priorities of babies as powerful thinkers, the significance of non-verbal communication, the importance of language play, the roots of emergent literacy and the notion of language and education as shared community endeavours make her book the one to choose for today''s world."
