Opis

This volume is written for all those who work with children and young people, including educators, psychologists, researchers, and the wider caring professions. Based in cultural-historical approaches, it shows both why accessing children's perspectives and motives is important and how to work relationally with them to help them move forward.

Recenzje

'The fruitful collaboration between two distinguished scholars has resulted in a unique book about how children develop and how adults can 'work relationally' to support them. This theoretically sophisticated contribution offers concepts and inspiration for professional practice. The book, richly illustrated by empirical examples from children's everyday life, is highly relevant for students, practitioners, educators, and researchers.'
