In this accessible and thought-provoking text, Dr Maria Robinson
examines the behaviour of babies and young children in a
developmental context, and takes into account the shifts and
changes over time as young children grow and mature. Understanding
Behaviour and Development in Early Childhood reveals, for example,
how behaviour perceived as 'difficult' in a young child may be the
manifestation of a response to emotional, sensory and cognitive
experiences. Throughout the book, readers will find a strong
emphasis on emotional well-being and the need to place our
understanding of behaviour within a developmental time frame. Based
on wide ranging professional experience the topics examined and
discussed in this insightful book include: What we understand by
'behaviour' How the brain and senses work and mature during early
childhood Behaviour as a reflection of the child's internal state
What emotions are, and how we learn what feelings mean to us as
individuals How emotions affect our ability to learn How we develop
a sense of self.The book provides suggestions for how adults may
think about and respond to changes in children's behaviour, and how
we may support children in learning how to manage their own
behaviour as they grow older and encounter wider and more complex
situations. Understanding the meaning of behaviour is a constant
challenge for anyone working with children. This developmental
approach promotes a helpful reflective stance for practitioners and
students working in early childhood education and care.
