The authors believe that physical and emotional health are fundamental to the well-being of children and provide practical methods and materials that address the entire individual, not just curriculum topics. This text focuses on the \"whole child\" and what he\/she needs from the learning environment in order to thrive. It pictures the child as being made up of \"selves\" - emotional, social, physical, creative, and cognitive...examines each of those selves in turn in separate chapters...and recommends methods and materials for enhancing growth in each area. This popular text is unique in that it combines a practical, realistic approach with a firm foundation in pertinent research topics. With an emphasis on emergent curriculum, intentional teaching, and the Reggio approach, students learn about quality teaching in a way that is accessible and encouraging to the novice teacher and presented to the reader in such a way that encourages linkage between theory and practice.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pearson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47572196360343,"sku":"9780132853422","price":26619.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780132853422.webp?v=1774889218","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-whole-child-developmental-education-for-the-early-years-9780132853422","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
