Written by an expert with years of experience in the field, this book is a comprehensive guide to good child observation. Observation is a subject which involves techniques, ethics and relevant material, as well as a range of personal skills. Choosing which child to study in detail is also something that requires thought. Arnold brings in theory from key thinkers such as Freire, but this guide is also full of practical examples.
