Description
Understanding Physical Development in the Early Years provides an accessible introduction to current research and thinking in this area. It explores everyday practice and offers practical guidance on promoting physical development, which plays a crucial role in young children's learning, behaviour, and emotional health. The book covers all aspects of physical development, including reflection tasks, summaries, and advice on issues such as health and safety, rough and tumble play, and the effective use of indoor and outdoor space. Written by leading consultants, it offers valuable insights for early years students and practitioners who want to understand young children's physical development and provide opportunities that nourish their overall learning and wellbeing. This book is an essential resource for those working in the early years sector, providing guidance on how to facilitate a wide range of movement and sensory experiences for young children.
