(Little Minds Matter) 1st Edition
by Jamel Carly Campbell (Author), Sonia Mainstone-Cotton (Author)
In
this unique and original book, Jamel Carly Campbell and Sonia
Mainstone-Cotton come together to have an open and honest conversation
about developing positive and responsive relationships in the early
years.
The book is divided into three main chapters –
building positive relationships with children; with other
professionals; and with families and the wider community – and each
conversation explores a range of key themes, from building trust and
listening to the voice of the child, to diversifying practice and
creating a setting that represents the wider community. These
discussions encourage the reader to consider the connections we make
every day, to rethink and empower their practice, and to place a much
higher value on their position as an early years advocate.
With
reflective questions included to allow the reader to think about their
own practice, as well as suggested further reading to explore the themes
in more depth, this engaging and accessible book is a must-read for all
early years professionals – and, importantly, encourages every
practitioner to begin new conversations of their own.
