This issue of Every Child magazine focuses on the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) – with several key articles on key aspects of the EYLF, as well as a 'how to' emphasis, where it is relevant. It will help you understand how you can approach it, as well as what it can mean for your service, your practice and your families.

Feature articles address different aspects of the EYLF, such as:

• ECA welcomes the Early Years Learning Framework
• Children have a strong sense of positive identity
• Nurturing a sense of fairness in children
• Developing an inquiring mind

There are also articles covering various other areas of practice and relationships, including health, ethics,professional development, an interview with Jo Goodwin, innovation and research. As always, there is also the 'Parent's Page' which in this issue helps introduce families to the EYLF and what it means to them, and the 'Fridge Door' to help you keep in touch with events happening around the country.
