Too Much, Too Soon? Early Learning and the Erosion of Childhood

Leading educators, researchers, policy makers and parents advocate alternative ways ahead for slowing childhood

Edited by Richard House

How to nurture young children's well-being and learning to reverse the erosion of childhood? Children's lives have been speeded up by commercialisation, 'adultification', and the government's 'nappy curriculum' which 'schoolifies' them and pushes quasi-formal learning too soon.

Now, in twenty-three hard-hitting chapters, leading educators, researchers, policy makers and parents advocate alternative ways ahead for slowing childhood, better policy-making and, above all, the 'right learning at the right time' in children's growth: learning when they are developmentally ready.
