Early Childhood Care Practice Stories

This book invites us to approach a specialized practice, Early Childhood Care, in its different modalities, which aims at producing transformations in the subjectivity of the young child or to generate the conditions for the constitution of the same, conditions that refer to the public institutions where these children are found or attend, due to their organic pathology, social or family neglect or convergence of these factors. It aims at producing modifications in the habitat, in the inter-subjective relationships in which the child finds or should find shelter, care, containment, support, affection. Therefore, it integrates, in the first place, their primary objects, the parents if there are any. Early Childhood Care provides this view in interdisciplinary work. Work in diverse teams that are assembled case by case, taking into account the diversity of institutions and interventions. In this book each one of the authors intends to transmit the experience and share the reflection about early attention in hospital spaces, health centers and institutions that shelter families with babies and young children.
