This book is essential reading for any Early Years or Early Childhood Studies student. Bringing you up-to-date with latest developments and key issues, this book helps you to understand the child in relation to society. The book is divided into three parts which focus on the influence on childhood, children’s experiences and  children’s mind, with topics including:

 

·       The Digital Child

·       Childhood and Crime

·       The refugee crisis

·       Working therapeutically with Children

 

Taking a fresh approach, this book introduces the reader to interdisciplinary approaches to child development and extends thinking outside the traditional topics.
