Updated, contemporary vignettes begin each chapter with an interesting example of children and adults engaged in activities and conversations that bring the content to life. The vignettes were carefully reviewed to ensure that they reflect current practice and mirror the diversity found in real world early childhood settings. In addition, shorter vignettes are inserted throughout each chapter to provide vivid examples of issues discussed. New coverage of Common Core State Standards is integrated where appropriate throughout the book. (See Chapters 11, 14, and 15.) Increased linkages between book content and developmentally appropriate practice are apparent in a Correlation Matrix on the inside front cover of the text, numerous examples of developmentally appropriate practice woven into the content of each chapter, and each feature is now linked to specific standards of developmentally appropriate practice. NEW! Chapter 6, Guiding Young Children, includes content revisions based on the important work of Dan Gartrell and cover democratic life skills, encouragement, and mistaken behavior. NEW! Chapter 17, Technology and Young Children, includes major updates in keeping with the changing landscape of technology in homes and early childhood settings, including information on a recent position statement on technology use by young children, interactive and non-interactive media, digital literacy, digital citizenship, and the digital divide.
