Young children’s personal, social and emotional development is of central importance to all those working in the Early Years.
Offering thought-provoking questions and practical suggestions to help readers to reflect on and develop their own practice, this fourth edition of Marion Dowling’s much-loved book has been fully updated to include:
- Expanded coverage of key topics including independent thinking, living and learning with others, and dispositions for learning
- A new chapter on ‘Vulnerable Children and Fragile Families’, with sections on identifying risk, talking to families, and safeguarding and protection
- Guidance for working with parents in every chapter
- Updated links to the EYFS and a focus on two year olds.
This is essential reading for all Early Years students and practitioners, and anyone working with or caring for young children.
A welcome update to this valuable text on children's emotional development. The links to the Early Years Teacher Standards are a welcome addition.
This book is a great resource for students studying Early Childhood Studies, it is current, topical, accessible and very through. It includes lots of links to the EYFS and recent research as well as practical suggestions and case studies to consider and reflect on.
This was a useful and thoughtful text which looked at aspects of PSE development in some depth and with excellent links to other sources. I intend to refer to it more extensively next year and across a number of modules.
This will undoubtedly become an essential text for Autumn 2015.

An excellent book that guides students and practitioners in thinking about key aspects of Personal, Social and Emotional Development. This book provides clear and insightful discussions on transitions, connections and partnerships. This is an accessible book with clearly laid out information in break-out boxes, extensive references at the end of each chapter to allow students to dig deeper, and suggested discussion questions and activities to explore ideas further.
