About this title

From the Publisher:

For future early childhood teachers and caregivers, this new text examines the process of socialization in young children as it happens during child rearing, at child care facilities, and in the early education system. It does so in an inviting, conversationally-written way that really gets students excited about participating in this important process! Distinctive is its timeliness, style, and breadth of topics. While firmly anchored in Piagetian and Eriksonian theory, the text presents material in layman's terms, with a wealth of examples that help students relate what they're learning to what they see in life. Topics reflect the full spectrum of early childhood concerns, providing a broad-based foundation for understanding the complexities of the socialization every child experiences.
