Summary: "Fostering is a way of providing a stable family life for children and young people, who are unable to live with their parents at a point in time. Foster Care allows children the chance to thrive in a safe, secure, loving and caring home environment with foster careers. The children and young people placed with foster careers are from a diverse range of backgrounds and will display different behavior depending upon their various experiences. During the first years of life, children undergo major developmental changes across a range of domains. In particular, the entry into "formal language" is one of the most herald-ed achievements of early development. Language enables children to share meanings with others, and to participate in cultural learning in unprecedented ways. Moreover, language is foundational to children's school readiness and achievement. For these reasons, a vast body of research has been dedicated to understanding the social-contextual factors that support children's early language and learning. Organized into eight chapters, this book will outline the important elements contributing to cognitive growth in children. They will explain the roles of nature and nurture, nutrition, health, and the home environment on a young child's development. You will learn how different parenting styles can affect a student's learning style and the value of creativity and play activities for young learners. The book will also guide you in a study of the pros and cons of early childhood programs and issues common to elementary students." -- Back cover
