Touch screen tablets have greatly expanded the technology accessible to preschoolers, toddlers and even infants, given that they do not require the fine motor skills required for using traditional computers. Many parents and educators wish to make evidence-based decisions regarding young children’s technology use, yet technological advancements continue to occur faster than researchers can keep up with. Accordingly, despite touch screen tablets entering society more than 5 years ago, we are in the infancy of research concerning interactive media and children. The topic has gained traction in the past couple of years. For example theoretical papers have discussed how interactive media activities differ from physical toys and passive media (Christakis, 2014), and how educational apps development should utilise the four “pillars” of learning (Hirsh-Pasek et al., 2015). Yet there has been little experimental research published on young children and touch screen use.

Captain Coram's Foundling Hospital was opened in London in 1741 for 'the maintenance and education of exposed and deserted young children'. Hogarth was a governor of the hospital - he donated several pictures, including his portrait of Coram - as was Handel, whose famous performances of his oratorio Messiah were given there from 1750 to raise funds. John Brownlow (1800-73), himself a foundling, became secretary of the hospital from 1849 until his retirement. He introduced improvements to the children's education and was a staunch defender of the hospital, refuting criticisms often levelled in the nineteenth century that taking in illegitimate children simply encouraged neglect. This brief account, building on his 1847 Memoranda, or, Chronicles of the Foundling Hospital (also reissued in this series), covers Coram, early supporters, the institution's paintings - which formed the first public art gallery in London - and the care of the foundlings.

This book is a thorough and engaging examination of an institution and its young charges, set in the wider social, cultural, demographic and medical context of the eighteenth century. By examining the often short lives of abandoned babies, the book illustrates the variety of pathways to health, ill-health and death taken by the young and how it intersected with local epidemiology, institutional life and experiences of abandonment, feeding and child-care. For the first time, the characteristics of the babies abandoned to the London Foundling Hospital have been examined, highlighting the reasons parents and guardians had for giving up their charges. Clearly presented statistical analysis shows how these characteristics interacted with poverty and welfare to influence heath and survivorship across infancy and early childhood. The book builds up sources from Foundling Hospital records, medical tracts and parish registers to illustrate how the hospital managed the care of its children, and how it reflected wider medical ideas on feeding and child health. Child fostering, paid nursing and family formation in different parts of England are also examined, showing how this metropolitan institution called on a network of contacts to try to raise its charges to good health. This book will be of considerable significance to scholars working in economic and social history, medical and institutional history and histories of childhood and childcare in the early modern period. It will also be of interest to anthropologists interested in child-rearing and feeding practices, and inter-family relationships

En tant qu'acteur pédagogique et éducatif, vous travaillez avec les enfants et côtoyez les parents au quotidien. Il est donc essentiel de promouvoir un espace de dialogue et de concertation sur l'éducation et les soins à donner à l'enfant. Cet ouvrage propose des outils pratiques pour améliorer l'accueil, la communication et la collaboration avec les parents. Il aborde toutes les circonstances possibles de ce dialogue : l'arrivée de l'enfant, l'échange journalier d'informations, l'annonce d'une mauvaise nouvelle, une conversation délicate, la diversité multiculturelle, les réunions de parents... En outre, le souci de développer chez les professionnels une attitude ouverte, la confiance en soi et une vision claire y occupe une place importante. Par ailleurs, les responsables et directeurs y trouveront également de nombreux conseils pour l'encadrement de leurs équipes et pour le développement d'une véritable politique parentale. La communication et les échanges entre parents et professionnels sont essentiels pour bien accueillir un enfant. La relation de confiance entre les deux parties, la continuité dans les soins prodigués et dans l'éducation proposée contribueront au bien-être de l'enfant et l'aideront à grandir et à se construire.
