Real Kids: Creating Meaning in Everyday Life
For a clue to what young children are really thinking, Susan Engel urges us to set aside our theories for a while as we listen anew to the children and watch them play. With humor and insight she celebrates the child's unique and ever-changing role playing and realities, and she calls upon us to make more sense of our research and teaching by seeing the children not as subjects but as co-discoverers.
