"GUIDING YOUNG CHILDREN, Ninth Edition," is written for early
childhood educators and others responsible for working with and
guiding young children in daily activities. The ninth edition of
this popular book takes a developmental approach--stressing the
need to consider the child's developmental level when planning
activities. It offers concrete suggestions on how to guide children
as they are involved in specific activities, such as playing,
eating, napping, etc. The authors strive to teach educators and
caregivers to manage the environment so that children can manage
themselves and thus gain independence. The textbook incorporates
the issue of inclusion in every chapter, and covers how to manage
children with especially challenging behaviors by taking a positive
behavior approach to all. The book includes many suggestions for
application assignments that will help the reader get to know
individual children they will likely encounter on the job. Core
concepts addressed include: principles of guidance, values,
children's development, collaboration, strength-based approach to
guidance, strategies, self-direction, personal care routines, play
and learning, outdoor play, and coping with challenging behavior.
The authors continue to take a positive behavior approach and show
how caregivers can have a positive impact on all children and their
self-esteem by building a warm, supportive relationship, setting
realistic expectations, and expressing confidence in the children's
ability to make good choices. The authors hope to encourage readers
to think about the origins of their own values and beliefs as they
encounter different ideas among colleagues and the families of
children in their care. Written with many suggestions for
application assignments that will help the reader get to know
individual children, this is the best textbook on the market in
which to prepare prospective teachers and caregivers with
wherewithal, knowledge and skills necessary to guide young children
in today's diverse classrooms.
