This volume discusses 14 different types of disasters and their
implications on the social, emotional and academic development of
young children, from birth through age eight. It focuses on
human-related crises and disasters such as community violence
exposure; war and terrorism; life in military families; child
trafficking; parent migration; radiation disasters; HIV/AIDS; and
poverty. The environment-related disasters addressed in this book
include hunger; hurricanes; earthquakes; frostbites; wildfires; and
tornadoes. The volume includes suggestions for interventions, such
as using picture books with young children in coping with natural
disasters and human crises. In addition, each chapter provides
research-based strategies for early childhood and related
professionals to be used in the classroom. Many children in our
world today experience some type of disasters and/or crises. These
crises or disasters can either be human- or environment-related and
can interrupt children's daily lives. They often negatively impact
children's development, education, and safety. Bringing together
authors representing a variety of countries including Australia,
Canada, China, Finland, Haiti, Hungary, Kenya, USA, and Zimbabwe,
this book provides truly global perspectives on the various types
of disasters and their implications for our work with young
children.
