Children's lives have been speeded up by commercialisation, 'adultification', and the government's 'nappy curriculum' which 'schoolifies' them and pushes quasi-formal learning too soon. Now, in twenty-three hard-hitting chapters, leading educators, researchers, policy makers and parents advocate alternative ways ahead for slowing childhood, better policy-making and, above all, the 'right learning at the right time' in children's growth — learning when they are developmentally ready.Following an extensive introduction by Richard House, looking at 'toxic childhood' in context, the book is divided into four parts:    Policy Making and the Erosion of Childhood: the Case of the Early Years Foundation Stage    The Foundations of Child Development and Early Learning: Perspectives, Principles and Practices    Advocacy, Research and Policy Making for Children's Early Years Learning    Ways Ahead to Achievable Futures\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HAWTHORN PRESS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51185199382802,"sku":"9781907359026","price":46.39,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0508\/3093\/4173\/files\/9781907359026.jpg?v=1774734303","url":"https:\/\/bargainbooks.com.au\/products\/9781907359026","provider":"Bargain Books Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
