Compiling Listening to young children, by Penny Lancaster and Vanessa Broadbent, involved more than 500 children and practitioners from more than 30 educational, social care and health settings.
The integrated resource pack uses the visual arts as a medium for children to express their thoughts and feelings about different experiences.
It includes a CD-Rom, practitioner handbook and case studies offering 11 'shared experiences' to help practitioners build reciprocal relationships with young children. The topics include visual walks, music and dance, musical conversations and creative design and problem solving.
Speaking at the pack's launch last week, Margaret Hodge, minister for children, said, 'Listening has to become embedded in the day-to-day practice of all who work with children.'
