Explores the important role of parents, practitioners and the extended family in the lives of babies and young children.

Full Description

This book explores the important role of parents and the extended family in the lives of babies and young children. It complements and extends the DfES Birth to Three Matters framework, which supports practitioners in working with children aged birth to three, and builds on the information provided in the companion book Birth to Three Matters: Supporting the Framework of Effective Practice (Open University Press, 2004). Written by academics, practitioners and policy makers interested or involved in the development of the Birth to Three Matters framework, this book argues that parent engagement is essential for developing partnerships within communities in order to give children the best start in life, and shows how this can be achieved. The book:

Discusses ways in which services may be developed to involve parents more fully in the care and education of babies and young children
Looks at the powerful role of parents and grandparents in the lives of children
Considers how skilled practitioners can manage relationships to provide support for both parents and children at difficult times
Explores the ways in which parents can be helped to fulfil their own needs at the same time as meeting their children's needs
Includes discussion of families whose children have special needs or disabilities
Parents Matter is essential reading for early years professionals and students on courses in Early Education, as well as policy makers, professional development trainers, local authority trainers, social workers and health visitors who work with very young children.
