Samenvatting

50 Strategies for Communicating and Working with Diverse Familiesoffers early childhood educators a unique and truly diverse perspective with the most practical strategies for partnering with families to support, enhance, and maximize the quality of care and education of young children. With a plethora of ideas for creating the trust necessary for true collaboration between families and the early childhood professional, the author guides readers on how to develop useful programs that include all families and individuals. Extensively revised, it reflects the most current themes, trends, research and ideas in the field today, making it the most diversity-centered text on the market for courses covering diversity and the relationships between teachers and families in early childhood education classrooms and centers.

Notable updates to this edition include:

· Greater attention to diversity in every chapter

· Expanded descriptions of the many different types of families readers will likely work with, including military families and grandparents raising their grandchildren

· Current information on the growing influence all types of media have on young children–even infants and toddler

· Added attention to the influence of economic hardship on children and families, as more families now live in poverty

· Changes and additions in What Teachers Can Do sections

· Many new stories, examples, and vignettes that apply the information to real life

· More on self-reflection, home visits, and transitions

· Revisions to most of the chapters reflect the most current themes, trends, research, and ideas in the field today.
