Review

Healthy and Active Lifestyles for the Early Years (2012)

By the Pre-School Learning Alliance (Pre-School Learning Alliance, 9.95 to members/12.95 non-members, ISBN 9781907478062)

The writing of this full colour A4 book was inspired by a desire to address the problem of children's loss of freedom in our risk-averse culture and outline how early years practitioners can make a very real contribution to addressing this.

Content written by practitioners themselves covers a variety of case studies highlighting how to promote a healthy lifestyle, along with chapters outlining how to encourage children and families to make healthy food choices and get involved in energetic physical activities.

This book has many practical suggestions, proven to work on the ground, and suggests how just simple changes can often be extremely effective.
