Understanding Schemas and Emotion in Early Childhood
- Cath Arnold - Pen Green Early Years Centre
Understanding Schemas and Emotion in Early Childhood makes explicit connections between young children's spontaneous repeated actions and their representations of their emotional worlds. Drawing on the literature on schemas, attachment theory and family contexts, the author takes schema theory into the territory of the emotions, making it relevant to the social and emotional development strand in early childhood education.
Based on research carried out alongside children, parents, workers and co-researchers at the world-famous Pen Green Nursery, and using case studies of a small number of individual children, the author shows new links between cognition and affect. The book includes a brief summary of a method of Child Study, using video and reflections on video sequences.
This book will be of interest to students and practitioners on Early Childhood undergraduate and postgraduate courses, as well as those taking modules on schema theory.
this is a really useful supplementary text for students with a particular interest in this area to extend their reading and understanding
An informative and straightforward to read text, ideal for the undergraduate student engaging in observations. It acts as a good starting point for students who need to understand the importance of not just being able to read about schemas but to be able to link them to their observational work.
Valuable case studies to further develop thought. Essential text.
Very useful for Masters Level students who are doing child Development
A really useful book presenting schemas through the use of case studies
An essential development to support understanding beyond basic schema recognition.
An engaging text looking at 7 children and how their schemas are interwoven with their emotions. This gives a real insight into the lives of children and how practitioners can support them.
Excellent resource when looking at Theorists and all related matter.
At long last a book that links schemas to practice in a way that my students will understand and be able to relate to. The links to theory are sound and will encourage them to link all areas. A great book using a great team
Well written, would reccommend studying CCLD, good links of theory to child observations.
