Understanding Children has been extensively expanded with an increased emphasis on providing a quality, nurturing environment for children while in care and outlines a new set of guidelines for adults interacting with young children. This new edition uses recent research studies on children in care and the effects of childcare on young children's later emotional development and social behaviour. Using the ideas presented in Understanding Children, parents and professionals will be assisted in developing a strong framework for successfully guiding and managing children's behaviour.
