SummaryTable of Contents
Unmatched by other books on the market, this edition of Guiding Children's Social Development, provides a solid foundation of up-to-date theory and research that will strengthen the reader's understanding of how children, birth to twelve years of age, develop and learn within the social domain. It describes successful ways to translate information in practical settings within learning environments, and offers teaching techniques to increase practitioner effectiveness. With sound principles of theory and practice, the book creates a framework for interpreting children's behavior and for implementing appropriate strategies to enhance children's social competence. This direction will assist professionals and educators to work with children and families from all backgrounds and circumstances, and help them support and accomplish goals together.
