Book Reviews of Essential Touch: Meeting the Needs of Young Children
Book Review: Essential Touch is an essential book for your personal library
Summary: 5 Stars
I found this book very interesting. Frances Carlson writes about how touch is essential to humans and offers research to back her ideas. She also offers practical suggestions to implementing positive touch.
When you think about how much inappropriate touch that occurs and how much abuse we see in society, it's so helpful to find someone writing about the POSITIVE aspects of touch.
She offers humor, insight and specific examples.
Although this book is geared towards teachers of young children - I believe this book would be useful to parents, physicians, policy makers and anyone who cares about children, families and healthy development.
I highly recommend you read this.
Summary of Essential Touch: Meeting the Needs of Young Children
Some early childhood programs have adopted no-touch policies, and others allow only a very minimal level of physical contact between teachers and children. Yet touch is as necessary as food or water for young children to thrive and grow physically, cognitively, socially, and emotionally. Experiences of touch in all its formswhether nurturing touch from adults, tactile explorations of the environment, or physical interactions with peers are essential to high-quality early care and education. From this book, practitioners will learn just why touch is essential in young childrens development and how it can be incorporated safely in early childhood settings, from the infant program to the primary classroom.Book Subjects
