Listening to Young Children, Expanded Fourth Edition

Brand new and expanded edition of Professor Alison Clark's groundbreaking book on the Mosaic approach - over 9,000 copies sold

Viewing children as 'experts in their own lives', the Mosaic approach offers a creative framework for understanding young children's perspectives through talking, walking, making and reviewing material with an adult. This book demonstrates how children's views and experiences can lead the way in early childhood education. The multi-method approach brings together digital tools with interviewing and observation to enable adults to review current practice and implement change with children.

This updated edition develops the approach with new applications, case studies and adaptations for working in a post-Covid environment with young children. It also includes a new chapter on slow pedagogy, which explores how slowing you're your approach to early childhood education can make a huge difference to the everyday lives of young children.
