In this accessible and thought-provoking text, the author 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.
