by Joanne Lehrer, Fay Hadley, Katrien Van Laere, and Elizabeth Rouse

Joanne Lehrer (Editor), Fay Hadley (Editor), Katrien Van Laere (Editor), and Elizabeth Rouse (Editor)

Relationships with Families in Early Childhood Education and Care radically challenges the role assigned to parents in neoliberal discussions of early childhood education and care, and presents new ways of thinking about relationships with families.

With contributions from international early childhood scholars and practitioners, this book includes outlooks of practitioners, families and children, particularly about the meanings they assign to relationships. Bringing together key understandings about how parent-partnerships can be understood, this book provides innovative examples of how to enact democratic partnerships with parents in diverse contexts.

Relationships with Families in Early Childhood Education and Care is an ideal text for ECEC practitioners and policy makers, trainers, graduate students and researchers.
