Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I put my five-year-old son, Wyatt, on a bus for his first day of school. I watched him become more distant, and I noticed that he was losing his childlike innocence. He was becoming more interested in what other kids thought of him. #2 I missed my son, and I wanted to give him a childhood. I wanted to experience it with him. I wanted to be with him all day, and not have strangers get to spend more time with him than I did. #3 The pursuit of giving our children the best childhood possible has led us to become neurotic parents. We have forgotten that for everything gained, something is lost. #4 The start them early mentality has replaced the mind-set that late is okay on social development, relational connections, and stress-reducing environments for children to fully develop.

The story of Jane Eyre may read like a Cinderella fairytale, but it’s far from one: A destitute orphan and governess falls in love with her rich employer and, having overcome many adverse circumstances through virtue, marries him in the end. But the tale of this unusual woman in 19th century England – a period of outlandish prudishness and a rigorous social order – is no penny dreadful. Despite her dismal prospects, Jane Eyre is neither a pliant housewife nor a racy mistress, but a strong, independent woman. She fights for her respect, freedom and integrity, even at the cost of immense personal sacrifice. Some twists of events appear unlikely, others absurd, and as a result there are times when Charlotte Brontë’s novel threatens to drift into triviality. But thanks to her spirited and deep characterizations, the author manages to keep her readers hooked to the end. At the time of its publication, Jane Eyre was a blockbuster success. It continues to be one of the most widely read classics of English literature.

Rachel and Margaret McMillan, Maria Montessori and Susan Isaacs have had a major impact on contemporary early years curriculum theory and practice. This insightful book introduces students and practitioners to the ideas, philosophies and writings of these key early thinkers in early childhood education and shows how they relate to quality early years provision today. This new and revised edition introduces another pioneer, Charlotte Mason (1832–1923), who saw learning as a lifestyle, rather than a means for passing tests and doing a set number of tasks, sentiments which resonate strongly today. The book explores the influences that shaped the ideas, values and beliefs of each pioneer and clearly demonstrates how they have each contributed to our knowledge of young children’s learning and development. It then examines these in the context of current policy to highlight the key ideas that practitioners should consider when reflecting on their own practice. Features include: Summaries of each pioneer's ideas and their influence on contemporary practice Practical examples to illustrate key principles Reflective questions to encourage practitioners to develop and improve their own practice Case studies and conversations from both England and Sweden to help further the application of knowledge into practice Written to support the work of all those in the field of early childhood education, this book will be invaluable to students and practitioners who wish to fully understand the lasting legacies of these five influential women.
