Practice Makes Perfect. Scratch That... Practice Makes Permanent —Especially for your Kid. Kids are like a blank space, an empty Microsoft Word document with a blinking cursor. They are waiting for you to write something, to steer the course. They look at what you do, the way you speak —even how you treat the dog. And whatever they learn from you and practice often is going to shape the rest of their lives. They observe and practice a lot of things. At this stage, the blank space is getting filled up with lessons they learned every day, whether good or bad, they become their character, their habit. That is why it's tough to get your kid to stop sucking at his/her thumbs if he or she does it very often. At a later age, you’ll find the possibility of your kid unlearning these bad habits almost nonexistent. But if you ever want to make your kid fall in love with learning new stuff like it's a bad habit, then you should get it right the first time. So what if you could make learning a habit for your kid? And Instead of them sitting in front of the TV after school with a bag of Doritos, they could be learning stuff that will enhance their overall love for education.

The first book in the series Policy and Pedagogy with Under-three year olds: Cross Disciplinary insights and innovations establishes a path for the much-needed examination of the experiences of infants and toddlers in contemporary educational settings across the globe. Bringing together internationally renowned scholars in the field, it starts a series of discussions about the positioning of under-three year olds in contemporary practice and policy contexts. It takes an in-depth look at what this means for our understanding of under-three year olds and those who share their worlds. Featuring some of the most important contemporary topics in this pedagogical domain, such as care, well-being, belonging, professionalism and status, the contributors offer a kaleidoscope of perspectives for contemplating the new normality of very young children living their lives in group-based early childhood settings, and what gives rise to their current realities. It also explores some important policy directions and trends.
