Reviewed by Jennie Lindon, early years consultant
In this revised edition of her book, Rosemary Roberts skilfully brings alive how young children develop a sense of themselves. The chapters have a reader-friendly layout and the family story woven throughout the book illustrates the main points in a very real way. The content is gleaned from the author's extensive experience with families in the PEEP project in Oxfordshire.
The book is especially effective because the author shows such empathy towards the feelings and dilemmas of caring adults. However, the flow of chapters balances the feelings and behaviour of children as well as that of the adults.
