Each chapter highlights a theorist’s work and includes insight on how the theory impacts teaching young children today. Discussion questions and suggested readings are included to help you gain an understanding of what it means to apply each theory to your work with children. Theories of Childhood, Second Edition : Builds the bridge between theory and best practices in early childhood education Supports your genuine enjoyment with children by helping you understand more about the ways they grow and learn Includes new understandings of Vygotsky’s work Applies the five theories to the realities of the twenty-first century Carol Garhart Mooney has been an early childhood educator for more than forty years. She is also the author of Theories of Attachment , Use Your Words , and Swinging Pendulums . Review: Easy Read - I loved this book. It was written in the way that actually helped you understand the different theorist and what that looks like in a classroom. I often purchase these books and they are written with language from many years ago which for some people, like myself, can be hard to understand. It’s an affordable book all college students pursuing a degree in education should have. Review: Thorough and Informative Introduction to Theories - This text has a thorough introduction to each of the theorists listed. It tells you a bit about each theorist as a person, the fundamentals of their theories, and gives examples of what application looks like. Each chapter has a few questions and discussion points at the end as well as recommendations for further reading. Emphasis on early childhood, most chapters only going from birth to ages 5-7. Perfect for parents, early childhood educators, and daycare providers. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #82,205 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #28 in Education Research (Books) #60 in Educational Psychology (Books) #69 in Philosophy & Social Aspects of Education | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 839 Reviews | ## Images ![Theories of Childhood, Second Edition: An Introduction to Dewey, Montessori, Erikson, Piaget & Vygotsky - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/813yGG5jFpL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy Read *by A***0 on May 8, 2022* I loved this book.
