"Parents and Professionals in Early Childhood Settings" addresses
the complex and sometimes controversial issues that emerge from the
care and education of young children. Staff and parents in early
childhood settings can find ample advice about how to promote good
communication, but much of that advice has no grounding in their
daily lives. Instead, it prescribes an established set menu of
communication tools, such as newsletters, notebooks and message
boards that rarely respond to what staff and families "say" about
relationships between them.
Drawing on the authors' research with hundreds of parents, staff
and students, the book explores relationships between staff and
families through a series of 'issue stories'. Each story features
the voices and perspectives of 'real' staff and families and
captures their various understandings, desires and feelings about a
complex, difficult and/or controversial issue.
The authors support each 'issue story' with snippets from
relevant international research, 'Fairness Alerts' that highlight
unfair thinking habits and show how to challenge them, and some
'points to ponder' and 'points to discuss' that encourage readers
to extend their thinking about the issue/s in the story.
"Parents and Professionals in Early Childhood Settings" is
written for the diverse people in the international field of early
childhood education and care. They include staff, students,
academics, trainers, curriculum advisors, policy officers and
managers, together with the parents and other carers of young
children.
