Focus on one year olds Focus on one-year-olds What Does it Mean to be One? explores the developmental needs and likely skills of babies and young toddlers. This book is part of a series that considers a year at a time in the life of very young children. This title now takes the series into the very beginning of early childhood and links closely with What does it mean to be two? The approach and ideas of this book are relevant to any practitioners, working with babies and toddlers anywhere in the UK. The structure of the book, however, follows the framework for England of the Early Years Foundation Stage: guidance covering from birth to five years of age that became statutory for early years provision from September 2008. Children’s learning can only be effectively and appropriately supported when adults – practitioners and parents alike – are guided by sound knowledge of child development. The layout of each of the five books in this linked series includes: • Descriptive developmental information within the main text, organised within the six areas of learning used by the Early Years Foundation Stage. • ‘For example’ sections giving instances of real children and real places and sometimes references to useful sources of further examples. • ‘Being a helpful adult’ boxes which focus on adult behaviour that is an effective support for children’s learning, as well as approaches that could undermine young children. • ‘Food for thought’ headings which highlight points of good practice in ways that can encourage reflection and discussion among practitioners, as well as sharing in partnership with parents.
