the socialization of the child, this book helps readers understand
how the child develops in a variety of contexts, including the
family, community, and early childhood institutions. Child, Family,
and Community gives readers the tools they need to work effectively
with both children and parents in ways that support children to be
healthy, secure, and socialized members of their families, and
eventually society. Guidance strategies are presented, as well as
child rearing strategies that parents, parent educators and other
professionals and practitioners can put to immediate use. The
author relates the many contexts in which the child exists-family,
school, and community-to Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems
theory, which divide's a person's environment into five different
levels: the microsystem, the mesosystem, the exosystem, the
macrosystem, and the chronosystem. The Enhanced Pearson eText

is a resource designed to help pre-service and in-service early
childhood educators, including infant-toddler caregivers,
understand the role of culture in their programs. It is also
intended for professionals who work with children and their
families in a variety of other roles, such as social workers,
special educators, and early interventionists, and for use in
college courses focused on early childhood education and child
development.
The module explains and illustrates how early childhood educators
can use the organizing concepts of "individualism" and
"collectivism" as a means of understanding cultural conflict and
difference. These concepts have been shown to be highly useful in
improving home-school understanding across cultures. Based on
real-life examples of cultural dilemmas in early care and education
settings, participants engage the concepts of individualism and
collectivism to solve a variety of scenarios in a dynamic and
engaging manner.

based on a pilot-tested approach. Appendices at the end of the book
contain transparency masters for the overheads referenced in the
script, and masters for suggested handouts.
*Chapter 3 offers ideas foraugmenting the basic two-hour training
by expanding it over a longer time period. It also identifies
