Product Description

Product Description

For courses in Child, Family, and Community and Parents/Home-School Relations  in Early Child Education.

 

This exciting revision differs from our other text offerings for this course(Berger, Barbour, Wright/Stegelin) in that it focuses primarily on the young child’s socialization.  So, if social competence and socialization are important to you, this text is one for consideration.  Recognizing that socialization is one of the most important aspects of child development, this lively and engaging book examines socialization issues of young children during child rearing, in child care facilities, and in the early education system within a developmental context. Child development as it relates to a child's first eight years, to a healthy family, and to a multicultural community is presented to students through personal stories, vignettes, pictures, and a wealth of examples.

From the Back Cover

The Young Child in the Family and the Community, Fourth Edition, covers the foundations of socialization in child rearing, caring, and education and discusses the components that are essential to the healthy socialization of children within their families and the community.  Based on developmental theory, it focuses on diverse perspectives using short cases, examples, and personal insights from decades of practice.  Janet Gonzalez-Mena's engaging writing style easily holds the reader's attention.

Young Child in the Family and the Community 26 Feb 2008
By A. Alegria - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I received the book that I ordered, which arrived in good condition. However, I was a little disappointed, because I paid for two-day shipping and it arrived in the same amount of time as if I had selected either the Free Shipping or 3-5 day shipping. But, I did receive the item, and it was in good condition, so I was happy that it did in fact arrive.
