SynopsisWritten to prepare culturally responsive and equity-minded early childhood educators, The Developing Child: Perspectives in Equity and Inclusion explores the ways societal factors such as race and racism impact the learning and development of young children. The book highlights the experiences of children and families of colour and other historically marginalized groups. Readers learn about the history of early childhood education in the United States, the role of play in the social development of children, prenatal development and the experience of being pregnant while incarcerated, and how doulas work to alleviate the racial disparities in birthing outcomes for women of colour. Common child development theories are covered with the caveat that viewing children and families through an intersectional framework is paramount, as well as understanding families' social location and its impact on child development. Additional chapters cover mental health and well-being of children, the importance of positive racial and ethnic identity on a child's learning and development, and practices for engaging diverse families. In deviating from a traditional White-European worldview, The Developing Child well prepares students to better understand the unique needs of children and families from culturally, linguistically, and socioeconomically diverse backgrounds. It is an excellent resource for courses and programs in early childhood education., Written to prepare culturally responsive and equity-minded early childhood educators, The Developing Child: Perspectives in Equity and Inclusion explores the ways societal factors such as race and racism impact the learning and development of young children.
