Understanding Schemas and Emotion in Early Childhood
- Cath Arnold - Pen Green Early Years Centre
Based on research carried out alongside children, parents, workers and co-researchers at the world-famous Pen Green Nursery, and using case studies of a small number of individual children, the author shows new links between cognition and affect. The book includes a brief summary of a method of Child Study, using video and reflections on video sequences.
This book will be of interest to students and practitioners on Early Childhood undergraduate and postgraduate courses, as well as those taking modules on schema theory.
Well written, would reccommend studying CCLD, good links of theory to child observations.
Valuable case studies to further develop thought. Essential text.
I have reccomended this as a must read to other tutors and childcare praactioners. I will definately be putting this on the essential reading list
I will recommend this book my students.
Regardless of study, this is a book that all practitioners should read to help understand children's development
An essential development to support understanding beyond basic schema recognition.
A wonderful exploration of the link between emotional development abd schemas, which provoked extensive discussion amongst our third year students on the BA(Hons) Early Years Education degree course.
This book makes clear connections to theory concerned with young children's emotional development. The observations and analysis will help students to engage with theory, such as attachment theory. It addresses sensitive issues such as a child trying to make sense of a bereavement in her family.
An engaging text looking at 7 children and how their schemas are interwoven with their emotions. This gives a real insight into the lives of children and how practitioners can support them.
Super case studies that bring to life the schemas explored in this text. The style of writikng suits Foundation Degree students who are work-based learners; so practical exmaples and studies of children speaks to them in volumes!!Clear explanantion and demonstration of the different schemas offering great support for interpretating children's observed play, which is one of the key skills for the module. Many thanks for the inspection copy, I will treasrure it, too.
