Preface

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.

Our Philosophy: Developing Human Potential


As in previous editions, our emphasis here is on the process of developing human po-
tential in all children by consciously applying principles of guidance. Those principles
are based on child development theory and research, as well as on the knowledge,
beliefs, and values we have gained through many years of experience in our work
with young children and their families, with early childhood professionals, and with
students preparing for careers with young children.
Because our emphasis is on developing human potential, we view guidance as a
concept that is broader and more complex than discipline or behavior management.
Guidance is more than getting children to do what we want them to do today;
it is helping them to become everything they can become for all of their tomor-
rows. It is important that even beginning caregivers and teachers understand, or at
least think about, the ways in which their interactions can have an impact on those
tomorrows. Thus, in addition to offering specific, concrete suggestions for adults who
might be working with young children for the first time, we try to explain the reason-
ing behind those suggestions, and to offer general principles that can serve as a frame-
work to guide—not to dictate—the reader’s decisions and interactions with children.
As young children in this country spend more and more of their early lives in
group settings, we note with alarm an ever-increasing emphasis on academic skills and
a corresponding decrease in time for play, particularly outdoor play. Ironically, these
trends exist amid reports that significant numbers of those children are being expelled
from preschool programs because of behavior problems. Although bombarded on all
sides with evidence that childhood has changed, we remain unwavering in our con-
viction that children continue to thrive best in settings that resemble the supportive
and enriching aspects of home and family life rather than impersonal institutions. Our
hope is that the guidance principles and strategies provided in this book will help
early childhood professionals shift their focus from correcting or controlling behavior
to providing the satisfying, joyful experiences and relationships that build a child’s
inner resources, providing a kind of immunity from the ill effects of life’s challenges.
We concur with Alison Gopnick that “Change and transience are at the heart of the

vii
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 to This Edition


While this ninth edition of Guiding Young Children retains many features that in-
structors have found useful in earlier editions, including provocative “Talk It Over”
suggestions in each chapter, it has been extensively revised and updated. In addition
to incorporating new information drawn from research and professional literature, we
have added and clarified content in response to feedback from students, colleagues,
and reviewers. We have also made a conscious effort to pedagogically structure the
book to provide a better fit with expectations for online courses:
• Expanded chapter on addressing challenging behavior. We’ve expanded Chapter 11
to cover this topic in greater detail, adding more examples and tools while con-
tinuing to emphasize that challenging behavior cannot be effectively addressed
without implementing all the strategies presented in this book.
• New coverage of cutting-edge topics. In addition to updating research throughout,
we’ve
• Expanded the section on brain development and the concept of self-regulation
in Chapter 3.
• Added a discussion of Response to Intervention (RtI) in Chapter 11.

• 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.

Voi että likainen ja rietas kuva maailman sun silmäterääs
kerran niinkuin rutto syöpyy!

Näät ehkä kerran, niinkuin minä näin, pois kaiken kauniin


pakenevan itseltäs. Et löydä äitiäs ja veljesi on kuollut.

Näät ihmissydämien eläinnäyttelyn; näät elon spitaaliset


kasvot edessäs suin, kielin niljaisin ja kammottavin silmin. Ja
myöskin oma jalkas saastan ketunrautaan tarttuu ja, niinkuin
koira koiriin, liityt niihin, jotk' elämässä tahrattiin ja tahraavat.

— Mut ehkä myöskin silmäis erämaahan kerran kautt'


ihmeen: kirkkaan lapsensilmän kautta taas taittuu aurinko,
maan puhtain kauneus kuin näky elämästä, joka kierrossaan
yhäti palaa puhtaaseen ja puhtaimpaan, sisimpään alkutilaan,
jok' on kauneus.

Ja näet: kaikki harha, rumuus — myös sun rumuutes — ei


ollut pysyvämpi tuho kauniin elämän kuin unohtuva
kivenheitto mereen, jok' ihanaksi rauhassaan on täydentyvä.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of


Project Gutenberg™
Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.
It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and
donations from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the


assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s
goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will
remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a
secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future
generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help,
see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at
www.gutenberg.org.

Section 4. Information about Donations to


the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
Foundation
Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without
widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can
be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the
widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small
donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax
exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating


charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and
keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in
locations where we have not received written confirmation of
compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of
compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where


we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no
prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in
such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make


any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation
methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of
other ways including checks, online payments and credit card
donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About Project


Gutenberg™ electronic works
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be
freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of
volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed


editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search
facility: www.gutenberg.org.

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™,


including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how
to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
