Loving Pedagogy Explained highlights the importance of developing a loving pedagogy and explains key terms used within this approach. Unpicking terms like advocacy, attachment, attunement, belonging, compassion, emotion coaching, empathy and empowerment, this book uses practical examples and case studies to explain what it means in practice when we adopt this approach. It also considers how we might adopt a loving pedagogy in relation to our policies, describing this ethos in more detail. Divided into two parts, the first provides a brief overview of the key terms used when describing a loving pedagogy alongside examples of what they mean in practice. Part two looks more broadly at the ethos of early childhood settings and unpicks various aspects of a loving pedagogy, including: how to write a loving pedagogy policy, how a loving pedagogy links to supporting behaviour, how we can nurture our children through developing a loving pedagogy and staff training and development. Part of the Key Concepts in Early Childhood Series, this is essential reading for early years practitioners and students who want to know and understand the importance of adopting a loving pedagogy within early childhood.
