Using the Empathy Doll Approach: Developing emotional awareness in early years settings

By Kirstine Beeley (Featherstone, 11.69, ISBN 9781408114476)

This book is full of case studies illustrating how empathy dolls have been used by early years practitioners, in nursery and childminder settings, to help children to explore common feelings and situations. The practitioners' accounts show how this has assisted children to build self-esteem and enabled them to grow into happy and confident individuals. The book includes advice on how to introduce a doll into your own setting and how to use it to build links between the nursery and home.
