What Kids Need
A Carnegie Corporation Initiative: A Decade of Progress in Early Education

In 1994, Carnegie Corporation of New York published a landmark reported entitled Starting Points, which resulted from the work of the Carnegie Task Force on Meeting the Needs of Young Children (see above). The report provided evidence and analysis of “the quiet crisis” in the care and education of young children and offered comprehensive recommendations to meet their needs. Drawing on a decade of research, Carnegie Corporation supported a follow-up report, What Kids Need: Today’s Best Ideas for Nurturing, Teaching and Protecting Young Children (Beacon Press, 2002). This groundbreaking and encouraging books explores the range of effective parenting techniques and social supports, programs and policies that really can help improve the lives of children.

What Kids Need, by Rima Shore, is available from Beacon Press, 25 Beacon Street, Boston, MA 02108, (61-7) 742-2110, www.beacon.org; it’s also available from online booksellers and local bookstores.
