In particular it turns upside-down the commonly held belief that professionals know better than parents how to educate and bring up children; and it throws doubt on the theory that working-class children underachieve at school because of a language deficit at home. The second edition of this bestselling text includes a new introduction by Judy Dunn. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli style=\"list-style: none\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFascinating account of an unusual research project challenges many assumptions about how young children.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTurns upside-down the commonly held belief that professionals know better than parents how to educate and bring up children.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThrows doubt on the theory that working-class children underachieve at school because of a language deficit at home.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe authors' evidence is the children's own conversations which are quoted extensively and are delightful.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe second edition of this bestselling text includes an introduction by Judy Dunn.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cb\u003eBarbara Tizard\u003c\/b\u003e is Emeritus Professor at the Institute of Education, the University of London, where she was formerly Director of the Thomas Coram Research Unit.
