From
Conflict to Peace Building:
The
Power of Early Childhood Initiatives
Lessons
from Around the World
Paul
Connolly and Jacqueline Hayden with Diane Levin
This
books contains stories of hope and encouragement and
of just what early childhood practitioners can do and
achieve in the face of adversity. From Conflict to Peace
Building shows us that it is possible to make a real
difference to the lives of children and families in
societies affected by conflict. Moreover, the stories
illustrate the power of the early years sector not only
as foundation stone upon which to re-build communities
but also as a vehicle for peace building because
of its ability to reach across political divides and
to encourage the differing side in conflict to develop
alternative visions of the future based around the needs
of children.
This
is the first publication of the International Working
Group on Peace Building with Young Children. Further

School
Readiness and Social-Emotional Development
Perspectives
on Cultural Diversity
Edited
by Barbara Bowman and Evelyn K. Moore
Strong social-emotional
development underlies all later social, emotional,
and academic success.” However, among the 20 to 50
percent of children who enter kindergarten not ready
to learn, social-emotional development is often where
they are least prepared. This collection of seven
commissioned papers summarizes a study by the National
Black Child Development Institute of the current state
of research and programs addressing preschoolers'
social-emotional development. This publication is
composed of findings from early childhood scholars
and experts representing various cultural groups.
It identifies
practical tools and strategies, as well as research,
mental health screening, and community partnership
models, that readers can use as resources for new
research and program development
