Hi! I'm trying to write a dissertation on working in partnership with parents and am struggling to find any literature to quote/refer to! Does anyone have any suggestions of books/articles/journals which are relevant?

I'm not 100% sure but don't practical preschool mags have a working in partnership with parents book? May be worth checking on amazon?

There is a chapter on Parenting and parent partnership in Avanced Early Years by Macleod-Brudenell & Kay, i have found that fairly useful. If I come across anything else I will let you know :D

They do, but I quoted from this in my last assignment and was told to be careful as these sought of books are not particularly acadaemic reading :rolleyes:

Ah, ok thanks for the heads up on that, I somehow managed to miss the word dissertation in the op :blush: So didn't realise it was for final year stuff.
Good luck butterfly, I remember how stressful mine was! ( cryogenics so not much help to you, lol)
