Infant-Toddler Social Studies: Activities to Develop a Sense of Self

Synopsis

As infants become toddlers, their expanding sense of self and growing motor, language, and cognitive skills provide opportunities for learning more about the physical and social world around them. This book is a valuable resource for advancing young children’s capabilities to successfully understand, relate, and interact with other people. These experiences have the potential to positively impact a child’s development of a healthy sense of self, cultural identity, social relationships, and connectedness to the community. With almost 170 developmentally appropriate activities this book lays the foundation for infant-toddler best practices in social studies learning, and connects developmental milestones to specific social studies activities. This book is a great tool to integrate with existing infant-toddler curriculum.
