Through the use of many colourful and practical examples, Pam Hanna makes a very persuasive case for looking carefully and listening sensitively to children as a basis for fostering learning environments for both children and adults.

Topics include:

• learning together as a concept
• learning with babies and toddlers
• using the moment for learning together
• documenting and reflecting on learning together
• evaluation of learning together
• respect – so that learning together is possible
• adult readiness for learning together.

Relevant for both centre-based and family day care settings, Adults and children learning together gives new meaning to the idea of 'starting with the child'.
