Book description
Girls are continuing to out perform boys in every aspect of the EYFS.
Even in physical and creative development, areas where boys should feel
competent and confident, girls are making greater progress. The
education establishment has to respond and help boys realise their true
potential or we run the very real risk of producing a generation of
disaffected boys unable to assimilate new skills and knowledge, to
empathise, to see themselves as capable and creative or to think imaginatively.
This book by Neil Farmer, a highly respected and experienced early years
consultant, will appeal to all practitioners and parents who are
interested in how boys develop and how they give them the best possible
start in life! Neil s background in Early Years education as a nursery
and reception class teacher, advisory teacher, deputy head, Foundation
Stage Consultant and Head of Early Years gives him great insight into
how boys learn and develop. He has made countless visits to numerous
settings and schools, has completed SIP training, Ofsted training and he
is a keynote speaker at regional and national events.
