Summary
"The book is an invaluable resource for all those on Early Years foundation degrees, degrees in Early Childhood Studies and pathways towards EYPS. Social science is an important part of Early Years' syllabuses, integrated throughout most courses, and this book helps students to understand the concepts of social policy, psychology, sociology, literary perspectives and multiculturalism in order to apply them to the Early Years. It shows how social science offers potential explanations of many complex aspects of human behaviour and development. In addition, through analysis and critical assessment, the text helps to develop study skills and cognitive skills and build confidence in a traditionally difficult area of study."--BOOK JACKET.
