Parents and Professionals in Early Childhood Settings, by Glenda MacNaughton and Patrick Hughes (Open University press, ISBN 978-0-335-24373-0, 19.99)
This book addresses the complex and sometimes controversial issues that emerge from the care and education of young children. Staff and parents in early childhood settings can find ample advice about how to promote good communication, but much of that advice prescribes an established set menu of communication tools, such as newsletters, notebooks and message boards that rarely respond to what staff and families say about relationships between them.
