Circle Time is a simple yet effective strategy proven to be one of the most effective ways of promoting positive behaviour and respectful relationships in Early Years environments. This second edition of Circle Time for Young Children has been updated in light of changes to the Early Years Foundation Stage Statutory Framework (EYES) 2012 and informed by guidance on the document Development Matters in the Early Years Foundations Stage (Early Education) 2012. A highly practical book, this revised edition explains how to put principles for Early Years educations into practice through well structured and purposeful Circle Time based lesson plans. Jenny Mosley, the UK's leading expert on Circle Time, provides accessible guidance on: incorporating the curriculum for personal, social and emotional development; enabling children to understand universal moral skills; developing young children's Emotional intelligence; helping them to practice problem-solving skills. The book explains Circle Time in a why? What? How? format that includes tick-sheets, bullet-pointed pages and plenty of examples of how the rationale works in practice. Moreover, references to the EYES and Development Matters throughout the text show how Circle Time fulfils their guidance and goals. Early Years practitioners in nurseries, pre-schools and schools will find this an invaluable yet extremely enjoyable and vibrant approach to teaching young children about the feelings and their relationship.
