The authors believe that physical and emotional health are fundamental to the well-being of children and provide practical methods and materials that address the entire individual, not just curriculum topics. This text focuses on the \"whole child\" and what he\/she needs from the learning environment in order to thrive. It pictures the child as being made up of \"selves\" - emotional, social, physical, creative, and cognitive...examines each of those selves in turn in separate chapters...and recommends methods and materials for enhancing growth in each area. This popular text is unique in that it combines a practical, realistic approach with a firm foundation in pertinent research topics. With an emphasis on emergent curriculum, intentional teaching, and the Reggio approach, students learn about quality teaching in a way that is accessible and encouraging to the novice teacher and presented to the reader in such a way that encourages linkage between theory and practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Patricia Weissman,Joanne Hendrick\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0132853426\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780132853422\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pearson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/27\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 496\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.72lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.98h x 8.02w x 0.67d","brand":"Patricia Weissman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48998550405375,"sku":"9780132853422","price":233.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-whole-child-patricia-weissman-9780132853422","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
