Supporting transitions in the early years

"Supporting Transitions in the Early Years explores the whole range of early childhood transitions, rather than simply looking at starting school or preschool. It helps parents, practitioners, policy-makers and Early Years students at every level to understand and support the successive transitions made by young children from birth to five." "The book highlights key qualities - resilience, resourcefulness and reciprocity - which adults should seek to foster in children, to facilitate their current transitions and prepare them for a future of change. The author also underlines the importance of listening to children from birth onwards, if we are to offer the kind of caring and educative environments that will best support their well-being."--BOOK JACKET.
