The Relationship Worlds of Infants and Toddlers explores the concept of relationships as a core element of early childhood education and care. Taking as its starting point that children from birth to three learn and develop in a network of relationships, it examines what these relationships look and feel like, how they can be fostered and why they are important for children, educators and families who are involved in early years settings.
In particular, it examines:
- Which kinds of relationships are important in early education and care settings?
- How can we understand the characteristics and meaning of these relationships for individuals and groups?
- How can we use our understandings to build relationships in early childhood programmes that benefit children, families and educators?
Compelling reading for both early years students and professionals this book provides a valuable resource with which to approach the diversity and dynamics of infant and toddler relationships.
