Aiding discussion of gender diversity and sexuality with very young children, this practical guide helps practitioners explore these themes in early years settings. Promoting and extending current good practice, the book offers advice and activities that will support children in discovering their identity and also demonstrates how to work with parents.  
 
This guide presents a background to gender theory alongside examples and case studies, showing that activities and settings can work together for children to recognise their full potential in a supportive environment. This book addresses a wide variety of topics such as staff training and team management, how to support and promote men working in childcare, transgender issues and ways practice can be challenged, to give those working with young children a great foundation for teaching about diversity.   
 
Proposing aims that early years practitioners can work towards and providing practical ideas to take directly in to the workplace, this hands-on guide sets out to create and encourage outstanding practice for all professionals teaching young children.
1. Introduction and overview; 2. Background to gender theory and legislation; 3. The manager - roles and responsibilities and the mission statement, training for team meetings; 4. The team and the individual practitioner in the setting - how to make a difference; 5. The environment - resources; 6. Activities for promoting excellent practice; 7. Supporting families; 8. LGB and transgender issues in early years; 9. Conclusion and ways forward
An important book to help promote diversity and equality in early years education. The guidance provided is useful and explained in such a way that practitioners can feel confident in implementing it. It supports practitioners in ensuring their early years setting promotes equality and diversity... I particularly liked that the book provides activities throughout that promotes practitioners to question their decisions, personal view point, management and setting.
