Produktbeschreibung
Systems Approach to Early Childhood Development: Bridging Theory, Policy and Practice offers a comprehensive and compelling, evidence-based roadmap for strengthening development in early childhood years. Drawing on neuroscience, developmental psychology, developmental diversity and laws for protecting children, the book presents the interaction and influence of each other within a broader ecosystem. The book is a coming together of four decades of academic, research, policy and field experience of the author, and it bridges the gap between knowledge and action. It is spread across eight chapters covering early development, developmentally appropriate activities, care practices, parenting, disability, child protection, and more.

This book tackles the most pressing questions in Early Childhood Development today: What truly shapes a child s development in the early years and how can these diverse influences be meaningfully integrated by those working with and for young children? How do we ensure no child is left behind especially those with disabilities or facing adversity? How do we strength systems for each child?

With a strong emphasis on how nurturing care and emotional safety shape brain development and social outcomes, the book illustrates why investing in early years is not only a moral imperative but a national strategy.

Grounded in India s ECCE landscape drawing from NEP 2020, it aligns with global frameworks like UNCRPD and UNCRC, this book is an essential resource for educators, researchers, students, policymakers, practitioners, parents and anyone committed to building inclusive, resilient and integrated approach for all children.
