Summary If we want children to be successful, confident, independent learners, we need to relearn the skill of truly listening. 'The Voice of the Child' builds on a number of theories which recognise the importance of interacting with, and listening to, the children in our care, and demonstrates how these can be put into practice - listening, communicating and hearing the voice of the child effectively. The book addresses each phase of a child's development, from birth through to five years, and explains how communication skills can be used to support individual children's specific needs.
