Loving Pedagogy Explained

By: Tamsin Grimmer

What does it mean to adopt a loving pedagogy within early childhood? Have you ever wondered what terms like attunement really mean? Loving Pedagogy Explained highlights the importance of developing a loving pedagogy and explains key terms used within this approach. Unpicking terms like advocacy, attachment, attunement, belonging, compassion, emotion coaching, empathy and empowerment, this book uses practical examples and case studies to explain what it means in practice when we adopt this approach. It also considers how we might adopt a loving pedagogy in relation to our policies, describing this ethos in more detail. Divided into two parts, the first provides a brief overview of the key terms used when describing a loving pedagogy alongside examples of what they mean in practice. Part two looks more broadly at the ethos of early childhood settings and unpicks various aspects of a loving pedagogy, including: how to write a loving pedagogy policy, how a loving pedagogy links to supporting behaviour, how we can nurture our children through developing a loving pedagogy and staff training and development. Part of the Key Concepts in Early Childhood Series, this is essential reading for early years practitioners and students who want to know and understand the importance of adopting a loving pedagogy within early childhood.

She is currently under commission to the National Theatre, The Royal Shakespeare Company and Hampstead Theatre, and has enjoyed well-received, sell-out runs at the Hampstead, Bush and National Theatres.

Supporting Behaviour and Emotions in the Early Years

Strategies and Ideas for Early Years Educators

By: Tamsin Grimmer

Have you ever wondered why children behave the way they do or why they can become overwhelmed with emotions so quickly? This practical resource has been created to help educators effectively support their children’s behaviour and better understand their emotions. The book focuses on the idea that all behaviour is a form of communication and explores central areas such as self-regulation and attachment, offering strategies that can be used to support challenging behaviour. Each chapter includes examples of practice, reflective questions and an activity for the reader to help consolidate their learning and encourage them to become ‘behaviour detectives’. Key topics discussed include: • Attachment theory, adverse childhood experiences and the importance of feeling safe and secure in the home and setting. • Characteristics of children during conflict situations or moments of challenging behaviour. • Developmentally appropriate expectations for children, and why it is vital that expectations are realistic. • Emotion coaching and the significance of acknowledging and validating feelings. • Linking behaviour with schematic play. Written from first-hand experience and filled with practical advice as well as recommendations for further reading and resources, Supporting Behaviour and Emotions in the Early Years is an essential read for early years educators.

Observing and Developing Schematic Behaviour in Young Children

A Professional's Guide for Supporting Children's Learning, Play and Development

By: Tamsin Grimmer

Observing and understanding schematic behaviour confidently is vital for anyone working with or looking after young children. This guide explains what schemas are, stripping back the technical language often used to describe them, and how to interpret and extend schematic behaviour to benefit the child. It looks specifically at 12 different schemas, such as connection, rotation and transportation, and includes case studies, interpretation of the observations and practical ideas for how to use this information to aid children's learning, development and play. Making schemas and schematic behaviour more understandable, this book will give early years practitioners and parents the confidence to identify schemas and plan future learning opportunities to support children based on this knowledge.
