Dr. Noah Hichenberg is a preschool director, author, and adjunct
professor.
He encourages adults to trust children more and control less.
A New Vision for Early Childhood gives us a compelling
understanding of who children are, what they need from parents
and teachers, and what they are capable of. And here’s some
relieving news for parents: We can stop hovering. We can do
less. We can trust more.
Deeply personal and richly detailed, Hichenberg’s illuminating
exploration of a child’s life is essential reading for parents,
educators, and all those eager to understand the troubling
experience of young children today.
A New Vision reframes the toddler world so we can radically
reframe our relationships with young children and let go of
adult-driven control. An eye-opening book every parent and
educator must read.
Using cutting-edge approaches to human development, Hichenberg
lays out profoundly novel perspectives about young children. A
New Vision is about the urgent need to challenge our faulty
notions about children, parenting, and ultimately, ourselves.
In vivid detail, Hichenberg shows how our expectations of young
children actually diminish their remarkable capacities and
competencies. A New Vision artfully recasts their resistance to
our expectations as their need to explore, to be set free, to
find their way in this world.
