Developing Children’s Communication from Birth to Four Years is an encouraging guide for practitioners and students working with young children in the Early Years Foundation Stage, which will also appeal to parents and family carers. Providing a clear outline of children’s needs, responses and abilities at each developmental stage, it guides the reader on:

- how to recognise and predict children’s individual feelings and reactions

- how to talk and listen to children at different stages

- how to be aware of body language and other non-verbal forms of communication

- how to support communication for children with special and additional needs

Offering advice, ideas and strategies for supporting relationships and understanding in diverse settings and at home, this book is an essential guide to developing communication and social skills in the early years.
