Hi these might help. Theorists can seem overwhelming at first, pick out the bits that seem familiar to you, the parts that make you think ah ... I can relate to that, yes that is what happens with children I work with.
Select a few of the theorists - briefly outline the key points of their theory and say how the theory relates to your work with children.
Once you have started exploring theorists you will keep dipping back for more when you start seeing how they relate to what you understand. Not something to happen overnight. Building up over time.
Hope these help
