Physical development plays a crucial role in young children s
learning, behaviour and emotional health and is now recognised as a
prime area in the revised Early Years Foundation Stage. It is
therefore essential that those working in the early years sector
provide children with a wide range of opportunities for movement
and sensory experiences. "
Understanding Physical Development in the Early Years" provides
an accessible introduction to the current research and thinking in
this area alongside descriptions of everyday practice. It explores
the kinds of activities and experiences that promote physical
development and offers practical guidance on how these can be
facilitated.
Drawing on current legislation and the requirements of the EYFS,
the book covers all aspects of physical development and
includes:
- Reflection tasks, summaries and impact on practice
sections
- Guidance on issues that can cause concern such as health and
safety, rough and tumble play, gender and the effective use of
indoor and outdoor space
- Advice on the role of the practitioner
- Information on the different stages of physical
development
- Ideas for working with parents and families
Written by leading consultants, this book will be essential
reading for early years students and practitioners that want to
fully understand young children s physical development and provide
opportunities that nourish children s overall learning, physcial
and emotional wellbeing. "
