Scholarly, and engagingly written, it covers all the key contemporary debates from child development, language acquisition and play to professional practice, health and wellbeing and diversity and inclusion. The new edition includes two new chapters on fostering creativity and sustainability. It covers the urgent post-pandemic need for early childhood practitioners to lead the remedial work for the 2020 generation of babies who lost valuable socialisation opportunities and includes discussion of the current 'schoolification' of early childhood and the pursuit of data as a driver of education and care provision. It also examines the impact of health and income inequalities, Covid-19, global neoliberal policies and Brexit on the early childhood landscape. An excellent all rounder, it covers everything a student of early childhood will need. Each of the eighteen chapters has at least one global case study, and includes reflective exercises, topics for discussion, assignments and further reading lists. Throughout the book, vital connections are made between theory and practice to help students prepare for a career working with a diverse community of children, parents and professionals. 0aPreschool children. 0aChild development. 0aChild care. 0aEarly childhood education. 0aEducation, Primary. 6aEnfants d'âge préscolaire. 6aEnfantsxDéveloppement. 6aEnseignement primaire.  ihas work:aEarly childhood studies (Text)1https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PCFTjykcbB6Hx6WV3rfyjRX4https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/ontology/hasWork
