Additional Book Details

The health and well-being of children is integral to learning and development but what does it actually mean in practice?


This textbook draws on contemporary research on the brain and mind to provide an up-to-date overview of the central aspects of young children’s health and well-being – a key component of the revised EYFS curriculum. 


Critically engaging with a range of current debates, coverage includes

early influences, such as relationships, attachment (attachment theory) and nutrition
the role of the brain in health and well-being
the enabling environment
other issues affecting child development

To support students with further reading, reflective and critical thinking it employs:

case studies
pointers for practice
mindful moments
discussion questions
references to extra readings
web links

This current, critical and comprehensive course text will provide a solid foundation for students and practitioners on a wide range of early childhood courses, and empower them to support and nurture young children’s health and well-being.
