The articles in this ‘Starting Points’ series have been an introduction to the development of children from birth to five years old for practitioners who are new to the early childhood field. The first article in January 2016 introduced some overarching ideas about early human development. There then followed ten case study observations, each one of a child of a particular age and context, which were discussed in relation to different theories of development.
By writing the articles in the form of short child studies, I hoped to help you to notice and think about children’s development, to make sense of what you observe and to better understand your role in supporting a child’s development.
