An accessible and relevant text which will be a valuable resource for students studying working with parents.

Easy to read and understand.
Students found it very useful and used it as a reference throughout their assignment

Useful for trainee teachers

This book will support the Dynamics in Families module.

The students found this a useful source to support their assignment, promoting positive relationships. The book was easily accessible and incorporated much of the information the students needed.

A brilliant book that has been successfully used by students in order for them to understand the importance of working in partnership with parents.

A comprehensive guide to the importance of working with parents; how practitioners can develop effective and professional working relationship with parents; and a discussion of the difficulties and issues that may arise and ways of resolving them. The book is well written with opportunities given for reflection and further reading. Very appropriate for students studying on Early Years and Education programmes.

very good aspects for working with parents

Useful features of this text include self assessment questions and reflective tasks but it is geared more towards students working in a setting rather than students on placement.

A useful and practical text for exploring values and concepts of parenting and family. It emphasises the importance of inclusive practice and the key role of family in children's education.

A highly important field within the Early years which has been addressed in detail to support practitioners when working with parents.

excellent reading for students studying the working with familes module

This book is essential for anyone in Early Years and even Primary schools. It enables the reader/practitioner to consider best practice in the all important area of parents as partners in their child's development. It deals with all aspects of parent partnership and comes from a well researched/practical viewpoint.

This book explores the ways in which early years practitioners work with parents and families to enhance children s development, learning and well-being. It explores the need for close partnership working between staff and families, offers examples of good practice and encourages reflection and discussion of the issues involved. The book pays particular attention to the standards required to gain Early Years Professional Status but is of interest to anybody working in an early years setting or studying on Early Childhood courses.

A big focus at present is working with parents and building strong relationships. This text clarifies what we have been saying and will benefit students in putting this into practice.

A valuable book with interesting reflective tasks, self assessment and case studies. Will be recommending it for the Effective Teams modules.

Useful book for all who study working with parents which challanges steteotypes of the motivations behind some parenting practices. Practical and reflective tasks support learning and the case studies are useful for providing context. The further reading clearly signposts those who want to go beyond the remit of each chapter.

This is a clearly laid out book. It covers a variety of issues relating to parental involvement .
