Summary
Amy Driscoll and Nancy Nagel’s textbook on early childhood education blends theory, curriculum planning, and classroom stories into a comprehensive guide for teaching young children. What struck me most was its insistence on seeing children as whole beings rather than just learners to be tested. In Malaysia’s multilingual, multicultural classrooms, that message feels especially important, since no single teaching style can fit every child. Reading it made me reflect on my own early schooling — how much of my confidence was shaped not only by what I learned, but by how my teachers made me feel about myself as a learner.
