Original PDF Guiding Young Children 9th Edition by Patricia F Hearron PDF
Guiding Young Children, Ninth Edition, is designed for use by college students and
others who are learning to work with young children in group settings. This is the
only guidance text that provides an overview of the principles of guidance; detailed
coverage of two broad strategies based on those principles—indirect and direct
guidance; and several chapters explaining how to apply those principles to specific
contexts.

human condition. But as parents [and caregivers] we can at least give our children a
happy childhood, a gift that is as certain, as unchanging, as rock solid, as any human
good” (2009, p. 201).
• New learning outcomes and realigned chapter content. Learning outcomes are
listed at the beginning of each chapter and have been aligned with primary head-
ings and application activities. This supports teaching and learning online and in
traditional settings.
• New illustrations to help clarify key points. These include a table listing warning
signs of possible abuse and neglect in Chapter 4; charts and sample floor plans in
Chapter 6; and a sample behavioral analysis and behavior plan in Chapter 11.
• Concrete examples. We’ve added or expanded examples and vignettes throughout
to help students better understand concepts (e.g., conflict resolution example in
Chapter 7).
• Instructor ancillaries. This edition is supported by an online Instructor’s Manual,
an online Test Bank, and online PowerPoint slides. All can be downloaded from
the Instructor’s Resource Center, at www.pearsonhighered.com.
As in the previous edition, Part I provides an overview of the principles of guid-
ance; Part II presents a detailed examination of two broad strategies based on those
principles—indirect and direct guidance; and Part III addresses the application of
those principles to specific contexts, including caregiving routines, guiding children’s
play and learning indoors and outdoors, and understanding and responding to chal-
lenging behavior.
viii Preface
Although dealing with challenging behavior is the topic that students (and teach-
ers!) often want to discuss first, we place that chapter at the end of Part III because we
believe that early childhood professionals who conscientiously apply all the principles
and strategies presented in this book will increase the likelihood of positive behavior,
and they will avoid exacerbating challenging behaviors by setting unrealistic expecta-
tions for children’s behavior or using ineffective guidance techniques. Thus, they will
face fewer challenging behaviors in the long run and be better equipped to under-
stand and address those that do occur in ways that promote children’s self-direction.
We encourage all instructors who use Guiding Young Children to adjust this
sequence of topics to suit their preferences, the needs of their students, and the con-
straints of their particular teaching situations. We have provided an extensive list of
additional readings and Internet resources at the end of each chapter to help instruc-
tors enrich their courses and to make it easy for students to extend their exploration
of the concepts in this book.
Acknowledgments
We are grateful to the many early childhood professionals, including former students
who have become our valued colleagues, who have contributed ideas, photographs,
and feedback on the eight earlier editions of this book. We express our appreciation
to the staff and children at the child development centers depicted in this book and to
the parents who have permitted their children’s photos to be used. Special thanks are
due to Tom Hearron for his skill as an insightful reader and for his invaluable expertise
in the creation of the Test Bank that accompanies this edition.
Laurel Anderson, Mira Costa College/Palomar College; Gayle J. Dilling, Olympic
College; Amy M. Kay, University of Georgia; and Amanda Taintor, Reedley College
provided helpful feedback in their reviews of the eighth edition. We are indebted to
our editor at Pearson, Julie Peters, and to Andrea Hall, editorial assistant, for their un-
flagging encouragement and support. Finally, we appreciate the skillful assistance of
Linda Bayma and Laura Messerly, project managers at Pearson, Sudha Balasundaram,
project manager at Element, and Kitty Wilson, our copy editor.
