Description: "This practical guide shows how early childhood educators can support children's friendships in the early years. Focusing on understanding relationships between young children, the book covers three core themes: Knowing how young children form close relationships with each other; exploring an appropriate role for adults in supporting young children to make close relationships with each other; the role of leading best practice - helping staff to learn and parents to understand the key issues involved in supporting children's social development. Each section provides links to current practice, focuses for reflection, real-life examples and bite-sized chunks of practical advice on how to promote positive relationships. Links to the EYLF are included throughout."--Cover.
