The first five years of a child’s life are an exciting and important time. Children change and develop at this stage at a fast rate. Experiences they have often influence their personality and behaviour for the rest of their lives.
This book describes how children learn and develop during their preschool years and what kinds of things influence or encourage that development. Chapters cover basic information on children’s growth physically, emotionally, socially and cognitively, and some common developmental problems and possible solutions.
There is information on finding groups and activities for parents/carers and preschool children to attend together: from art or physical activities to music and storytimes. The different types of childcare and nursery education available in the UK are explained too. Information for parents of preschool children who have special needs is also included.
