Observing young children at play is an everyday and often
fascinating and pleasurable experience for many of us. It also has
a great pedigree in the development of psychoanalysis from Freud s
observation of his grandson s game with the cotton-reel
onwards.This book describes the practice of observing young
children in home and nursery settings in a systematic and
non-intrusive way in order to expand our understanding of their
emotional, cognitive, and social development. It uses a
psychoanalytic lens to enrich the meaning of what is seen. How do
minds and personalities take shape? How can we train people to see
what is most relevant in helping children to develop?The chapters
range from classic papers by famous practitioners of an older
generation to observations completed in recent years in the UK,
Europe, and the US. Observation of this sort has also spread to
Latin America, India, Australia, Africa, and the Far East. The
differences and continuities with Infant Observation are the
starting point. What happens when a child starts nursery? How
active a playmate should an observer be? How do we balance the
close attention given to the observed child with the wider group of
children in a nursery? How do we make sense of the marked cultural
differences we see between families, nurseries, and indeed national
cultures? How can we use observation as a baseline for early
intervention and how can we research what we are doing?The book is
written for the many students and professionals concerned with the
care and education of under fives, and for parents, grandparents,
and all who are interested in the mind of the young child. The
meeting of inner and outer worlds, which characterizes life in
these crucial years, is vividly depicted. Readers will delight in
the children s capacity for imaginative thought and also find
themselves pondering what makes a nursery a good-enough place for
staff and children."
