Protecting Our Children: Understanding and Preventing Trauma, Abuse and Neglect in Early Childhood, by Elaine A. Zweig, PhD, Lin Moore, PhD, and Pamela Sawyer, PhD, has been written to assist teachers, childcare and education administrators, health care providers, social service workers, and all who work with young children to recognize and understand the abuse, neglect, and trauma of children. While the book is focused on educational interventions, it also provides information and ideas for professionals in child welfare and health care as well as anyone working with young children, contains practical ideas on working with families and children and information that should better inform their practice, and includes not only history and theory but also best practices in working with young children. There are forms and resources to help those who work with and teach young children.
