Social and Emotional Development: Connecting Science and Practice in Early Childhood...
Product Description Holding babies while feeding them and playing Simon Says with children are important developmental practices that help babies and children form an attachment to their caregiver and regulate their behavior. With accessible language, this book looks at common teaching practices in early childhood programs and the scientific research that supports them. Topics include attachment and exploration, impulse control, and problem-solving. About The Author The team of eight authors is led by Dave Riley, PhD, a professor of human ecology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.The other lead authors are Robert R. San Juan, PhD; Joan Klinkner, MEd; and Ann Ramminger. All eight authors are professors or early childhood professionals and collectively represent extensive academic and practical experience in the field. Reader Reviews From now until we see a distinct paradigm shift, the overarching influence of the No Child Left Behind Act will continue to bully early childhood education away from fostering socio-emotional development and toward a nearly exclusive focus on academic development. From this point until forever, I will always oppose such a singular viewpoint on education. I think you can correctly foster both equally, and this book should give teachers clues on how to accomplish this goal. In an unusual way, Riley and her co-authors aim to show us how to use science (a logical field closely related to math during these early years) to model social and emotional growth and maturity. I cannot remember seeing this before. It is a fascinating discourse. Each chapter shows through scientific exploration how to gain perspective on ideas like attachment or friendship or self-regulation through constructivist type experiences. Not only is this book research-based but also it is quite inexpensive. Even if you do not agree with the approach, I think this book is worth looking at especially if you want to keep academics in your classroom in an appropriate way. Comment | | (Report this)
