Download or read book A focus on communication with diverse families in early childhood education written by Dana L Tuller and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Early childhood professionals who work directly with families sometimes have difficulty making meaningful connections with the family. This difficulty may stem from cultural differences, including socio-economic status, family traditions, and/or the importance the family places on education at an early age. Home visits can assist early childhood professionals in learning about the families’ cultures, needs, and strengths. Barriers exist to making connections with some families. These include time constraints, family resources (or lack of), and the image of who is the ‘expert’ on the child. Learning about the culture of the families as well as learning about one’s own cultural competencies can help bridge these barriers. This project will assist early childhood professionals in understanding their own diversity, the diversity of the families under their care, and give strategies and techniques that will assist in making a connection with the family.

Download or read book Life and Loss written by Linda Goldman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-11-20 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many clinicians recognize that denying or ignoring grief issues in children leaves them feeling alone and that acknowledging loss is crucial part of a child’s healthy development. Really dealing with loss in productive ways, however, is sometimes easier said than done. For decades, Life and Loss has been the book clinicians have relied on for a full and nuanced presentation of the many issues with which grieving children grapple as well as an honest exploration of the interrelationship between unresolved grief, educational success, and responsible citizenry. The third edition of Life and Loss brings this exploration firmly into the twenty-first century and makes a convincing case that children’s grief is no longer restricted only to loss-identified children. Children’s grief is now endemic; it is global. Life and Loss is not just the book clinicians need to understand grief in the twenty-first century—it’s the book they need to work with it in constructive ways.
