Sort Your Sh*t Out is the no-nonsense, practical and interactive
guide to getting rid of the unnecessary physical and psychological
baggage that is holding you back from living a clutter-free life,
and organizing yourself so that your life will change for the
better, for good. Using journalling and life coaching techniques,
Sort Your Sh*t Out will guide you through the liberating process of
sorting out your mess - and coming out the other side richer in
time and money, more organized, more driven and clearer-headed than
ever before. Tidy house, tidy mind goes the saying - so it follows
that with an untidy house comes an untidy mind, and an untidy life.
With this untidiness comes waste: wasted food when you don't know
what you've got in your disorganized cupboards; wasted money when
you buy clothes you already have; and wasted time looking for lost
items in your mess of a house!
Early childhood practitioners are often reluctant to see themselves
as leaders and managers. However, all those who work with young
children and their families, whatever their level of experience and
competence, have to undertake both of these roles on a daily basis.
. . This book encourages practitioners to recognise their active
involvement in leadership and management in relation to their work
as team leader or team member, and in their work with parents and
other professionals, to ensure appropriate and effective provision
for young children.
. . The authors identify a number of key principles involved in
effective early years leadership and management, which focus on the
idea that: . . Leadership is about influencing others to improve
and enhance childrens care, learning and development . . Leadership
is only effective if it develops the leadership of others by
supporting a team or group in meeting their declared aims or vision
. . Leadership is ultimately distributed, shared and dispersed in
early childhood settings. . These principles are supported by a
detailed exploration of the statutory demands made on practitioners
working with young children and their families, and reference to
relevant literature drawn from both early childhood studies and
leadership theories.
. . As well as providing guidance on the roles, responsibilities
and tasks facing early childhood leaders, the book features a
number of case studies and practical tasks, giving life to concepts
and ideas and enabling readers to apply theories and policies to
their own work settings. Additional activities at the end of each
chapter further support practitioners in fulfilling their
leadership and managementroles in practice.
. . . "Leadership and Management in the Early Years" is an
essential text for early years and early childhood studies students
as well as practitioners particularly those who are aiming for
Early Years Professional Status..

This accessible text provides guidance on the inclusion of young
children with special educational needs or disabilities in a
variety of early education settings. The author highlights the
complexity of early identification and assessment of children
described as having special educational needs. Practitioners are
encouraged to consider make exclusion visible and consider
important questions relating to the language and values
underpinning the early years policy and practice. The emphasis is
on inclusion as a process aimed at supporting young children and
their families in order to enable all children with SEN or
disabilities the opportunity to participate in activities available
to all children in an inclusive learning environment. The author
promotes the development of inclusive early years cultures where
inclusion of all children is regarded as a right rather than an
option. The text has implications for the teaching and learning of
all young children not only those perceived as having special
educational needs. The theoretical perspectives are supported by
examples based on concerns and experiences of parents, children and
practitioners. It is essential reading for those working or
intending to work with young children.
'Beautiful and heart-rending . . . I could smell Africa on every
page' - A. A. Gill Caroline Jones was born in Ethiopia and spent
most of her childhood in East Africa. She read French and Spanish
at Oxford University and went on to make documentaries for the BBC.
Now aged 39, she is happily married with two children. Yet beneath
this seemingly perfect public exterior, Caroline was in fact
privately indulging in a pattern of destructive behaviour that left
her exhausted, anxious, depressed and full of self-loathing - from
the ages of 17 to 31, for 14 years, Caroline was suffering from an
extremely widespread yet comparatively little-talked about mental
illness - bulimia. Caroline is articulate, intelligent, insightful
and frank about her experiences, interweaving the journey of her
illness with memories of her African childhood, her time at Oxford,
her work for the BBC, her family and other relationships, making
for a warm and engaging memoir. Her perceptive, retrospective
approach to her illness allows her to transcend the topic of
bulimia and talk more generally about self-destructive behaviour -
there are lessons here which will speak to a little part of
everyone.
