Theories of Childhood
|
|
I am studying a foundation degree in Early Years, I have found theorists a bit confusing. I was introduced to this book recently and have found it very useful when writing assignments as it is written in a way it is easy to understand and follow.

Promises much
|
|
This book promises much but is written in a rather patronising manner and while making the effort to be understandable (and succeeding) manages to lose the reader's interest. It gives very high level vignettes of the major theorists and might be good for those with little exposure to working with theories.

Its not easy to find the theory or theorist you need to support your assingnment at the best of times. Believe me this make the job a lot easier. It gives you enough to know where to look for more indepth information. BUY IT

Cannot get your head around theorists? Anyone taking a childcare course should have this book, because love them or not you have to deal with them and this book is the best, it covers the essential work of five theorists in a clear straighforward way that is easy to read and understand. I came across this book looking through Amazons selection thought I would try it and have recommended it and used it as a reference many times since.
