5.0 out of 5 stars DONT HESITATE. ITS A MUST
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 May 2020
Verified Purchase
Absolute lifesaver! Honestly. Over the past few years studies childhood studies, working my way up I have always struggled to get my head around the nightmare theorists!! It just never stuck in my head, websites made it so confusing and no books in the library explained it any easier. Honestly thought I just wouldn’t be able to carry on through to my degree, until I found this little beauty in the library. Continuously having to renew this because I found myself needing it more and more. I finally bit the bullet and bought it for myself. And what a great purchase is will be for completing the rest of my degree.

Although one thing I will add, is this is basically like a childhood theorist book “for dummies” like myself. So basically just explains and simplifies everything down for you. So if you are using this for higher education I do recommend researching the theorists more in-depth before adding it into your work as it only tells to things in brief. But a huge must must must!! Don’t hesitate. Linda pound is a legend!

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential uni book!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 May 2019
Verified Purchase
This is a fantastic book which has been such a help for writing uni essays and understanding child development. It explains everything in a simple way and gives you the key facts about each theorist. It packs a lot of information in but also allows you to use this as a starting point to research particular theorists or ideas that interest you. I also like that it is written in chronological order as this gives you a sense of how education and the understanding of child development has changed over the years. I would recommend this book to anyone studying education, childcare or child development.

4.0 out of 5 stars A useful study resource on theorists and their influence
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 October 2008
Verified Purchase
A clear and well set out book detailing approximately 20 theorists who have had influences in the way we approach early years education.
I would normally dip in and out of text books but this one I was happy to read as it's set out in such a undemanding and informative way.

The book is set out with headings about each theorist's;
- Life and upbringing
- Books and writing
- Their theory
- How those theories have been put into practise and their influence

The author also critiques the theories and provides web sites and books to find out more about each one.

Whilst it's definitely a useful book and one I've found interesting, I had hoped to find some information on Maslow, Rogers or Kelly so was slightly disappointed they weren't mentioned.
