Reviewed by Jennie Lindon, psychologist and early years consultant This author has updated and revised what was already an informative and useful book. A wide range of practitioners will find support here to understand and create good practice for children in PSED.

Marion Dowling shares insights from research, but with enough explanation to inform readers, who can then decide whether they want to follow up references. Each chapter is completed with two sections, practical suggestions and professional questions, that will support reflective practice. There is a helpful chapter explaining the important concept of dispositions for learning, and the whole book rests upon the message that young children deserve and need time to learn and explore.
