Publisher's Synopsis
Perspectives, edited by Dr. Victor C. Alfonso, with Dr. Florence Rubinson as guest editor for this issue, is a psychological and educational journal that focuses on publishing original contributions from a broad range of psychological and educational perspectives relevant to infants, young children (up to 8 years old), families, and caregivers. Along with articles incorporating evidence-based research, theory, and practice within clinical, community, developmental, neurological, and school psychology perspectives, PECPE also publishes book, literature, and test reviews, program descriptions, and other materials of interest to psychologists and professionals who work with and educate young children and their caregivers.
This issue, which is the first general issue of PECPE, touches on gender nonconformity and identity, paternal impact on child development and skill acquisition, and how children adapt to kindergarten, according to kindergarten teachers. Articles include "Gender Nonconformity and Gender Identity: Resources for Early Childhood Educators" by Amy E. Tiberi and Tammy L. Hughes and "Old Roads, New Paths: Men's Childhood Relationships with Their Fathers and Their Current Parenting" by Karen E. McFadden, Jacqueline D. Shannon, and Catherine Tamis-LeMonda.
