Can anyone recommend a good book by any chilcare theorists?

Thanks, I am just starting an NVQ3 in childcare and learning development.

Linda Pound, How Children Learn (from Amazon for about £12) is a fantastic book. It gives you basic info on all the theorists. I have used this for my foundation degree in early years

I recommend 'Growing a reader from Birth' by Diane McGuinness. McGuinness is a cognitive scientist and this book is a thoroughly fascinating read covering the development of language from baby-to 5 years, and its relationship to later literacy. A 'must read' for all parents AND those involved with early child-care IMO.It may be out of print -but worth finding through Amazon marketplace.

Hi, thanks both.

Will try Amazon for yours Maverick and have ordered the Linda Pound book from he library, thanks purepurple.

'Why Love Matters' by Sue Gerhardt is a text book on my child psychotherapy course. It's about why love is essential to brain development in a child's early years. I got mine from Amazon.
