A Practical Guide to Gender Diversity and Sexuality in Early Years

By Deborah Price (Jessica Kingsley, £14.99)

This thought-provoking, bite-sized guide starts with a real-life case study about a parent’s attitudes to appropriate toys for her boy through to key legislation and theory. With some children remembering dismissive, stereotyping comments about them from nursery, we see how important it is not to present children with any preconceived gender-based roles, and what a forward-thinking setting looks like. Full of practical suggestions about the role of staff, the environment, and supporting families.
