Exploring Well-being in the Early Years

By Julia Manning Morton (£22.99)

Drawing on research with parents, children and a range of professionals, this considers how well-being is interpreted in the early childhood field today. It includes snapshots of what our youngest children think about their personal well-being, and examines external environmental contexts that impact on it.

There is a strong focus on the issues that need to be kept at the forefront of practice and provision, such as prioritising children's and families' socio-cultural contexts, addressing inequalities and developing a listening culture.
