Reflecting the importance of drawing on childrenā€™s perspectives to shape professional practice, this book offers a nuanced approach to understanding the aims, implications and practicalities of accessing and incorporating childrenā€™s perspectives in pedagogial practices relating to transitions. Listening to Childrenā€™s Advice about Starting School and School Age Care:
emphasises the importance of listening to and respecting childrenā€™s perspectives at the time of their transitions to school and school age care; shares childrenā€™s perspectives of the transition to school and school age care in ways that are both authentic and provocative; explores implications for practice as a consequence of childrenā€™s input; provokes a deep level of critical reflection and practice/policy development that is informed by a dialogue between research and practice.
Chapters report research conducted in seven different countries to highlight approaches that acknowledge and respect childrenā€™s input, and use this as a basis for critical reflection on practice, with a view to improving the childrenā€™s transition experiences. Using examples of practice and offering practical and theoretical insights, the book illustrates the multiplicity of childrenā€™s perspectives, and prompts educators to reflect on and critique practice.

This book will be invaluable reading for researchers, students, educators and practitioners involved in young childrenā€™s transitions to school and school-age care.
