• Summary:"The book is divided into three parts. Part 1 , "Understanding Families," provides the conceptual framework for understanding families.Authors have attempted to use the most inclusive definition of families in this section, and have provided examples of nontraditional as well as traditional families. Part 2 , "Facing Family Challenges," consists of 12 chapters devoted to the challenges families face today. Early childhood professionals are very likely, in the course of their careers, to work with children who have dealt with a death in the family or a divorce. Many children are from single-parent families, families who live in poverty, or families in which one of the members has special needs. Understanding these families' challenges will help the early childhood professional offer support in a nonjudgmental and empathic manner. Finally, Part 3 , "Working with Families," offers a framework for early childhood professionals to apply their understanding of family in their efforts to involve families in the care and education of the children. This begins with an overview of parental involvement from a theoretical perspective, then proceeds to consider practices with parents from a family-centred approach."-- Provided by publisher.
