Description

The Key Issues series addresses some of the major challenges facing early years settings and primary schools. Parents as Partners' is one of the four themes of the EYFS and this book looks in detail at why the relationship between the parent/practitioner/child is so important, backed up by research into emotional development, studies from Scandinavia and other countries. More importantly, it provides practical advice and guidance on how successful parent partnerships can be achieved, right from before children enter the school/setting through to when they are ready to move on.
