Paperback. Zustand: New. Investments in young children--by caregivers, educators, and civic leaders--have grown enormously since the late twentieth century. Alongside this trend, deeply human questions have become hotly debated. How do we best nurture young children? Which adults and what settings best foster the early learning and social vitality of our youngest kids?Debating Childhood and Preschool tackles these essential issues, clarifying the philosophical divides and examining popular beliefs about child-rearing and early education.
