Synopsis

For courses in Guidance/Management of Young Children.

The seventh edition of this popular text supports the authors' belief that guidance is more than getting children to do what you want them to do now; it is helping them to become everything they can become for all of their tomorrows. The approach focuses on the need to consider a child's developmental level as well as family and cultural context when planning environments and activities for young children. Unlike others in the field, it offers concrete suggestions on how to guide children while they are involved in specific activities such as playing, eating, napping, etc. Simple, straightforward explanations and a clear organization make this text accessible and appealing, to prospective teachers.
