Tie Dye Tuesday
At eighteen years old, Amanda Bateman applied to be a counselor at a Girl Scout camp in Western Pennsylvania. Instead of looking for internships or working a part time job, she canoes, eats chicken fingers, and fights raccoons. TIE DYE TUESDAY is a reflection of what those years have made her believe about family, friendship, and herself. It is a memoir of the summers between her years in college and trying to grow up while being paid to act like a kid.
Closing the Loop
The Arnold's have been through enough over the years. Abandonment. Murder. Grief. Heartache. Lies and Feuds. Are they to finally get their happy ever after?
Cutting the Cord
One family in turmoil... The Arnolds aren’t like many families, but then Elsie Arnold isn’t like other mothers. Selfish to her core, Elsie’s only concern is herself and her happiness, little caring about her husband, Harry, or four children left behind in her wake. If a better option comes along, she has no hesitation about taking it. Caught up in the tornado that is their mother, her children try to come to terms with the consequences of her catastrophic decisions, especially Freddy who suspected that Elsie was up to no good and took her betrayal hard. Drawn back to the fold after being ostracised by their mother and their sister long ago, Harry’s elder sister Bea finally finds the ...
Conversation Analysis and Early Childhood Education
This book provides insight into the everyday activities co-produced by teachers and young children, demonstrating the fine details of teaching and learning as knowledge is shared through the everyday activities of talk-in-interaction. Adopting an ethnomethodological perspective, together with conversation analysis and membership categorisation analysis, it reveals how teaching and learning are jointly accomplished during activities such as pretend play episodes, during disputes, managing illness and talking about the environment. Through in-depth studies of child-teacher interactions, the book explores the means by which knowledge is transferred and episodes of teaching and learning are co-constructed by participants, shedding light on the co-production of social order, the communication of knowledge and manner in which professional and relational identities are made relevant in interaction. As such, Conversation Analysis and Early Childhood Education will be of interest not only to scholars of ethnomethodology and conversation analysis, but also to those working in the areas of early childhood studies and pedagogy.
Children and Mental Health Talk
This timely collection explores how children display social competence in talking about their mental health and wellbeing. The authors analyse recorded conversations of young people’s interactions with professionals in which they disclose particular mental health concerns and their ways of coping, drawing on insights from ethnomethodology, conversation analysis and discursive psychology. Across a diverse range of institutional and international settings, chapters examine how children and young people employ interactional strategies to demonstrate their competence. The research reveals how young people resist or protect claims that they lack competence, especially in contexts where they mig...

Talking with Children
Early childhood teachers know that the quality of child-teacher interactions has an impact on children's social and educational outcomes. Talking with children is central to early learning, but the significant details of high quality conversations in early childhood settings are not always obvious. This Handbook brings together experts from across the globe to share evidence of teachers talking with children in early learning environments. It applies the methodology of conversation analysis to questions about early childhood education, and shows why this method of studying discourse can be a valuable resource for professional development in early childhood. Each chapter of this Handbook includes an up-to-date literature review; shows how interactional pedagogy can be achieved in everyday interactions; and demonstrates how to apply this learning in practice. It offers unique insights into real-life early childhood education practices, based on robust research findings, and provides practical advice for teaching and talking with children.
Children’s Knowledge-in-Interaction
This book is a collected volume that brings together research from authors working in cross-disciplinary academic areas including early childhood, linguistics and education, and draws on the shared interests of the authors, namely understanding children’s interactions and the co-production of knowledge in everyday communication. The collection of studies explores children’s interactions with teachers, families and peers, showing how knowledge and learning are co-created, constructed and evident in everyday experiences.
Disputes in Everyday Life
This volume offers a contemporary understanding of the relational matters of children's peer cultures to better understand and address the complex nature of children and young people's everyday lives in today's society.
