Listening to children

"'Listening to children' is often understood differently by adults and the children they are supposed to be listening to: it involves not just paying attention to what young people say, but taking what they say seriously and acting in response." "Providing an introduction to the ideas behind listening to children and young people and how to do it, this guide offers a range of techniques for effective listening, encompassing observation and communication, explaining difficult issues, helping young people to talk about their experiences and involving them in decision-making. Good practice checklists, reflective exercises and quotations from children are given throughout, as well as a range of interdisciplinary practice examples showing situations where effective communication has been established with children." "Listening to Children is essential reading for professionals working with children and young people, and will be particularly useful for students in the fields of social care, health and education."--BOOK JACKET.
