Description
Understanding Transitions in the Early Years Supporting Change Through Attachment and Resilience by Anne O'Connor provides valuable insights into the impact of transitions on young children. Successive changes can have a significant effect on their emotional health, cognitive development, and attachment to caregivers. This fully-updated second edition draws together evidence from neuroscience, attachment theory, child development, and childcare practices to offer practical guidance on supporting young children's developing emotional resilience. It explores ways to reduce the number of transitions, including the key person approach, and provides strategies for practitioners, managers, and head teachers to support children through transitions. With case studies, examples of good practice, and questions for reflection, this book helps practitioners understand the little things they can do to make a positive difference in the lives of individual children.
