    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    With the social, economic and political challenges alongside implications of the digital era and environmental sustainability in the 21st century, understanding how children feel about themselves, particularly within the complex web of their relationships with family members, peers, friends, practitioners, and professionals is of ultimate importance.


    Young Children?s Identities: A Multi-disciplinary Perspective explores and recognises the importance of identity as a key foundation for children?s holistic development and wellbeing. Readers are encouraged to consider diverse perspectives, including history, psychology, sociology, education, ethnography, and human ecology when understanding how children construct and co-construct their identities over time.


    Supported throughout by Froebelian and Freirean lenses, the authors? own personal, professional and research experiences, this essential volume seeks to develop a richer picture of this complex area of young children?s identities by addressing the following questions:



    • Whose values are defining me?

    • Who am I in a diverse society?

    • What is the role of professionals in co-constructing children?s identities?


    There is a great need to understand children?s identities in early childhood due to the undeniable impact this can have upon their wellbeing and holistic development. This is an essential read for students, academics, practitioners and policy-makers working within early years education, childhood development, psychology and social work.
