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.
