Summary

How do young children develop and learn? A deep understanding of this crucial topic is central to good practice in early childhood education and care. Designed to help students and practitioners develop knowledge and understanding, this book provides authoritative reviews of key areas of research from developmental psychology, and demonstrates with practical examples ways in which these can inform practice in early years educational settings. The book's major theme is the fundamental importance of young children developing as independent, self-regulating learners. Chapters cover topics including the evolution and structure of the young human brain, emotional and social development, the development of play, learning and language, and the development of children's memory. Each chapter includes: " practical examples of work in key areas, such as providing emotional support and developing social skills; " summaries of areas of research; " CPD and INSET activities; " discussion questions and further reading. This book provides an invaluable resource for early years students and practitioners by summarising new research findings and demonstrating how they can be translated into excellent early years practice.
