Über diesen Titel

Críticas

This important book attempts to place the developing child within the many worlds they exist, to give us a better understanding of both the most obvious influences on them, and also the more subtle. Never shying away from the controversial issues, this book is not about an ideal child development story, it is about how modern children are growing up in a world that is often very alien to the one practitioners grew up in, culminating in the final chapter that explores contemporary issues in our global society, such as poverty, obesity, sexualisation, mental health, media, materialism and more. (Neil Henty)

Reseña del editor

This brand new textbook brings you up to date with all the latest developments and keys issues from around the globe, and helps you understand how these changes are impacting on practice in early years and primary classrooms.

 

Key issues in contemporary childhood are explored through three sections on The Child, The Family, and Emerging Trends, with topics including:

 

• the ‘Digital Child’ and the rise of new technologies
• children’s security and the impact of poverty, austerity and conflict
• children’s happiness, mental-health and wellbeing
• the changing nature of families including LGBT homes, refugees, and asylum seekers
• the challenges of multi-agency working

 

The pace of change in early childhood can be daunting, but this book helps students and practitioners understand the huge variety of issues affecting children in the UK and all over the world.

Sean MacBlain will be discussing key ideas from Contemporary Childhood in the SAGE Early Years Masterclass, a free professional development experience hosted by Kathy Brodie. To sign up, or for more information, click here.
