Interactions for Development and Learning

Appropriate for courses in General Methods in Early Childhood: Development of the Young Child, Early Childhood Development, and Early Childhood Curriculum. This text is the first of its kind to emphasize the importance of different types of interaction for development and learning. A theoretical rationale is provided for the importance of appropriate interactions between an adult and child, between a child and older and younger peers, or between a child and an object. For those who work in real situations with young children, this is an invaluable guide that presents methods of planning, program implementation, and evaluation.
