Families: Where learning begins

$22.55

By Judy Radich

Refreshing the 2007 title, Everyday learning in families, this updated title looks at children’s self-discovery when they are guided by an interested and encouraging adult. When young children’s early learning experiences are positive and supported, they are more likely to become engaged learners. Children’s play experiences and supportive relationships in the first five years are significant both in the here and now and set a solid base for later learning, school and success in life. And as children grow and develop, the most important constant in their lives is the responsive relationships they have with significant adults.
