skippy Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 could anyone recommend any good sites or books about two year olds. With more twos entering our setting I am concerned about what we are providing, the expectations of staff for two year olds and the routine of the day. Could anyone recommend any websites or books I could read, or recommend/share any thing from their setting. The twos room is relatively new and I worry that as our inspection is due we need to look at what we are providing and how we are supporting them. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mollypiper Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 'I am two! - working effectively with two year olds and their families' by Kay Mathieson is a good read. It's well set out and easy to absorb with case studies reflecting on practice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mundia Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Great minds Marsha, as that was going to be my recommendation too. You can ask for a copy of the booklet 'a good place to be two' as well as download it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harmony1985 Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 That booklet is brilliant. I've just done training that was arranged by our local authority on 2 year olds, run by Nancy Stewart and Helen Moylett, and that was given to us as a resource. It might be worth googling county councils resources too. Our EYC has let us borrow a folder on being prepared for 2 year olds which I think is from Chesterfield.
