The listening, reading and watching list, the articles,papers and training exercises published here are some of my writings. They have been written or devised over a period of many years for the training and development of people whose work involves the care, the nurture and the education of children and young people. Accordingly they are not engraved in stone and exploiting one of the advantages of online publication, I update articles when experience or new information influences my views. Where texts have been changed a date note is made at the end of the article.
Although my writings concern the development and parenting of all children and young people there is in them more emphasis on the care of children and young people whose childhoods have been disrupted. I offer them here with the hope that they will be helpful for anyone who has a responsibility, in whatever role, to bring up children. I welcome critical comments on any of these pieces. With my best wishes to you, Charles Sharpe.
