Despite the growing popularity of ethnography in the 20th and 21st centuries, recent qualitative research texts (e.g., Denzin & Lincoln, 2005, and subsequent editions; Hammersley & Atkinson, 2007; Marcus, 2008) and articles about ethnography (Gobo, 2008; Lewis & Russell, 2011; Wacquant, 2003) include relatively little about leaving the field.

This fully updated third edition of Learning Through Child Observation is a handbook for professionals working in, or students preparing to work in, children's services. This accessible text examines the value of observation, its use in assessment and the practical aspects and methods of observational study. The authors focus on the importance of fully recognising the child's developmental and emotional state when intervening, and the need to see children 'holistically' and as unique individuals within the wider context of the family and community. This new edition reflects updates to policy and practice and further develops the critical perspective on contemporary thinking about childhood and observational methods. This edition has also expanded its focus to include observation of primary-aged children. A popular text, it will appeal to students and professionals in all children's services, whether in pre-school, schools, social care, mental health or health settings.--publisher.
