AnonyMouse_31752 Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Not really a work question but a family member asked me for some recommendations on basic books for child development (I quote here 'one for dummies'!!) all the ones I have are for practitioners, training/courses or linked to practice and too in-depth I think for what she wants. Does anyone have any ideas on some good ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonyMouse_5970 Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 I was going to suggest the Mary Sheridan one too. It's quite 'old school' and makes no links to curriculum/ EYFS but is an absolute classic and suitable for beginners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_22993 Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 I was going to suggest Carolyn Meggit - its very easy to dip into, comes with a dvd. Has a little theory at the back but very accessible. FF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
