Seen and Heard – Children’s Rights in Early Childhood Education by Ellen Lynn Hall and Jennifer Kofkin Rudkin – “Using examples from a Reggio-inspired school with children from ages 6 weeks to 6 years, the authors emphasize the importance of children’s rights and our responsibility as adults to hear their voices.
