This book makes explicit connections between young children's spontaneous repeated actions, and their representations of their emotional worlds. Drawing onthe literature on schemas, attachment theory and family contexts, the author takes schema theory into the territory of the emotions, making it relevant to the social and emotional development strand in early childhood education. Based on research carried out alongside children, parents, workers and co-researchers at the world-famous Pen Green Nursery, and using case studies of a small number of individual children, the author shows new links between cognition andaffect. The book includes a brief summary of a method of Child Study, using video and reflections on video sequences.
