More young children than ever before are spending their time in
some form of early childhood service. But how do we know what they
think about it? While there has been a move to take children's
views into account more generally, very little attention has been
given to listening to young children below the age of six or seven.
This book is the first of its kind to focus on listening to young
children, both from an international perspective and through
combining theory, practice and reflection. With contributions and
examples from researchers and practitioners in six countries it
examines critically how listening to young children in early
childhood services is understood and practised. Each chapter is
rooted in the everyday lives of young children and presents a range
of actual experiences for students and practitioners to draw from.
Beyond listening goes further to address key questions emerging
from early childhood services and research. These are What do we
mean by listening? Why listen? How do we listen to young children?
What view of the child do different approaches to listening
presume? What risks does listening entail for young children? The
authors are leading experts in this area of rapidly growing
interest and have themselves developed innovative methods such as
the Mosaic approach, which is discussed in the book.
