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.
Very useful for Masters Level students who are doing child Development
An in depth book which has supported the current students within their observation modules.
this is a really useful supplementary text for students with a particular interest in this area to extend their reading and understanding
A clear and engaging account of observations and reflections on schemas. Really useful accounts of researcher reflection and emotional engagement.

This book matches very well with our course content for second year undergraduates. It builds and extends the theoretical and conceptual framework, introduced in the first year. This concentrates on cognitive, social and emotional development, so this book is a welcome find.
Well written, would reccommend studying CCLD, good links of theory to child observations.
Valuable case studies to further develop thought. Essential text.
