"Rush and Shelden have done it again! The Early Childhood Coaching Handbook Second Edition takes the best from the first edition and provides an expanded collection of real life scenarios and concrete strategies. This is a valuable go‐to‐guide for anyone learning about or doing coaching."

"Rush and Shelden have improved upon what is becoming an architectural foundation in the field of early childhood coaching. They successfully bridged theory and practice with examples of how coaching is operationalized in a variety of early childhood settings in a way that is accessible and relevant to a wide range of early childhood professionals. This book should be a staple in every early intervention provider's and administrator's personal library."

"The Early Childhood Coaching Handbook, second edition is a powerful book describing the use of reflective coaching in early childhood. In this edition, Rush and Sheldon have provided rich descriptions, powerful examples and specific content of the practice and its application to natural learning practices for families and young children. These thorough examples support the use of this practice for ALL families and children as well as its use with caregivers and colleagues engaged in the field of Early Intervention. This handbook is a must read for preservice university students and related service providers considering a career in Early Intervention as well as all current Early Intervention providers."
