Foundations of being: understanding young children’s emotional, personal and social development

By Julia Manning-Morton (Early Education, £18)

This book starts from the principle that PSED is fundamental to all other areas of development and learning and aims to enable early years practitioners to think deeply about this through practice guidance and reflective exercises. It looks at children’s emotional development, including brain development, key person approaches, self-awareness and self-esteem, temperament and dispositions, anti-bias practice, children’s social relationships and practice that supports children’s social interactions and social play.
