According to authors Deb Curtis and Margie Carter, the key to observing children is to discover a different way of being with them. In facilitating your journey toward this discovery, The Art of Awareness offers ideas, activities, and experiences, as opposed to just a set of checklists and facts to learn. Through a series of study sessions, the book helps you learn to better observe seven different aspects of children's lives, including how they use their senses, and how they interact with their families. It also gives tips for gathering and preparing documentation, with examples of such documentation provided in a full-color insert.
