From Birth to Three: An Early Years Educator’s Handbook

By: Julia Manning-Morton

This accessible handbook offers an in-depth exploration of the distinctive features of the play, development and learning of children from birth to three years old. Key theoretical ideas relating to social, emotional, cognitive and physical development are discussed in relation to everyday practice, offering a wealth of information and guidance on working with this unique age group. The book emphasises the connections between all aspects of a child’s experience and development; addressing key questions of what babies and young children need, enjoy and have a right to experience. It demonstrates how early years educators can develop their practice and organise their provision in a way that is positive for babies and young children and their families. Focusing on the holistic nature of early development, chapters explore the following: The importance of interactions and relationships between educators and children How to develop a holistic pedagogy that gives equal consideration to children’s care, play and learning The value of the connections that children make with the world around them, and how educators can create an environment conducive to nurturing these connections Observation and self-evaluation of practice and provision Each chapter features case studies, links to key aspects of practice and practical tasks to help readers apply the ideas to their own context. The book is accompanied by an extensive companion website (www.routledge.com/cw/Manning-Morton) containing video explainers, reflection points, practice tasks, downloadable resources, quizzes and more. Opening a window on what it is like to be a baby or young child in an early years setting, this is an essential tool for all early years educators and students on a wide range of early years courses. It will also be of interest to parents.

EBOOK: Key Times for Play

By: Julia Manning-Morton,Maggie Thorp

There are three reasons why this book deserves to be taken seriously. The first is because it concerns ‘play’, and this is a challenging and multi-faceted subject. The second reason is because it examines play during the first three years of life, which is a crucial period for the developing child in many aspects (i.e. physical, emotional, cognitive, etc.). The third reason is the book’s virtues, the most important of which are the clarity of thought displayed by its authors, the systematic descriptions of play contexts and play between children and adults, and the accessible style in which it is written.” International Journal of Early Years Education Key Times for Play takes a broad look at the importance of play for children from birth to three and sets play within the framework of a child's whole development. The book combines theory and practice and is illustrated by many examples from direct observation of children. Key Times for Play is organised in relation to key characteristics of children from birth to three, each of which are looked at in relation to how very young children play. The implications of this for how adults interact with young children and how they provide, support and develop play experiences is a major focus. A key theme of the book is the emphasis on a holistic approach to young children's play. Play is therefore looked at in relation to all aspects of the child's day and the separation of play and work and care and education is challenged. Key Times for Play is suitable for the student undertaking a level three qualification, but wishing to continue onto a degree course. It is a challenging text for these levels, but because it keeps a practical approach, it remains accessible to the reader.

Two-Year-Olds in Early Years Settings: Journeys of Discovery

By: Julia Manning-Morton,Maggie Thorp

This book offers guidance on how to provide high quality provision for two year olds. With a mix of key theories, reflective questions and practice case studies the book will help the practitioner / student to reflect on the links between the development and learning needs of two year olds and how practitioners provide for them. Following the journey two year olds take through all aspects of their experience, the book starts with being at home, through transition into a setting and then considers each aspect of provision. With the case study observations of practice, practitioners and students can accompany the child on their journey in order to better understand the child’s viewpoint and to explore and analyse concepts of good quality practice and provision in order to achieve sustained improvements in provision for this age group.

Exploring Wellbeing in the Early Years

By: Julia Manning-Morton

Children's experiences and well-being in their earliest years underpin and highly influence their future development and learning. Drawing on research with parents, children and a range of professionals in the early childhood field, this book considers how well-being is interpreted in the early childhood field. It includes snapshots of what our youngest children think about their well-being, and examines external environmental contexts that impact on well-being. The book raises a number of important issues and clarifies priorities that need to be kept at the forefront of practice and provision, such as the fundamental importance of prioritizing children and families' socio-cultural contexts, addressing inequalities and developing a listening culture. Importantly, there is also focus on appropriate pedagogical approaches and aspects of practice that support children's well-being in early childhood settings, such as adult-child relationships, quality interactions, physical play and creative expression. The book also highlights the inseparability of adults' and children's well-being and therefore the need to consider contexts that enhance the potential for parents and practitioners to experience well-being. For all students and practitioners who want to put young children's well-being at the forefront of their practice this is a fascinating, thought provoking and illuminating read. Contributors: Deborah Albon, Mary Dickins, Melian Mansfield, Penny Holland, Micky LeVoguer, Penny Mukherji, Jasmine Pasch, Linda Pound, Judy Stevenson "This book is a timely reminder that young children have a right to be listened to. Wellbeing as a concept is redefined using the voices of children, parents and practitioners. Important questions are raised about the cost to individuals and society if this is not taken seriously." Dilys Wilson, Senior Lecturer in Early Childhood Studies at Middlesex University, UK "This text brings together research literature, theoretical understanding and practical application. The book captures the essence of early childhood and provides a dialogue and debate of holistically challenging well-being for all. This is a book to be treasured." Dr Lesley Curtis, Headteacher/Head of Centre, Everton Nursery School and Family Centre "This book is an essential discussion and authoritative account of the explorations and research outcomes of the LMU/NCB project 'Talking about well-being in early childhood'. The book represents multi-faceted perspectives about children's wellbeing that underpin the values and principles of inclusion, understanding that children are citizens with personhood and rights." Estelle Martin, Anglia Ruskin University, UK "This book is based on a deep and honest respect for young children and the adults who work and play with them and it illustrates with passion and insight the ways in which emotional and physical well-being are built on positive relationships and connections between people." Helen Moylett, Early Years Consultant and writer "This book opens up the way for future analysis of how society can become more at ease with itself so that the unwitting consequences of deeply embedded institutional discrimination, intolerance, negative assumptions, expectations and judgements are removed from young children's lives." Jane Lane (advocate worker for racial equality in the early years)
