Young Children Playing: Relational Approaches to Emotional Learning in Early Childhood Settings
The subject of this book is young children’s emotional-social learning and development within early childhood care and education settings in Aotearoa-New Zealand.

This book draws on original data in the form of narrative-like framed events to creatively illustrate the complexities in children’s diverse ways of feeling, thinking, playing, being, and becoming.

This book examines early intensive behavioral intervention (EIBI) programs for young children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). It analyzes current research on early intervention (EI) and explains the importance of accurate, timely detection of ASD in facilitating the use of EI.
