This direct guide supports practitioners in nurturing personal, social and emotional development (PSED) in young children by demystifying brain development research.
 
Condensing a wealth of recent research and theory around PSED into practical guidance, it gives professionals the knowledge and understanding they need to critically evaluate their own practice and find the best course of action to support PSED in young children. From the perspective of neuroscience, it explores what can help or hinder development, considers why some children bite and why toddlers have tantrums, and questions how well-intentioned actions, such as reward systems or putting new foods on a plate for children to 'just try', may be misguided.
 
1. Introduction. 2. Brain Development, Neuroscience & PSED. 3. Perspective of Influences on PSED. 4. Well Meaning? 5. Promoting Wellbeing. 6. The Importance of Listening. 7. Theory into Practice: PSED - The Art of Empathy.

This book is designed to challenge thinking and aid reflective practice, to consider whether current practices are fit-for-purpose, and whether you are fully supporting young children. This is accomplished through debate on theory, case studies and numerous examples of best practice.The final chapter brings everything together by looking at how the theory of the preceding chapters can be turned into lifelong practice. This is an excellent book that will both challenge and inspire you.
