Description
Your child from birth to eight provides a practical guide to the physical, emotional, social and cognitive development of young children, with a focus on fostering the bond between parent and child. While children develop differently in accordance with their genetic inheritance and environment, Pam Linke, renowned social worker and early childhood expert, clearly defines the steps which help parents to know what milestones children can be expected to reach, at different ages and stages and how best to support their learning.
This fully revised and updated edition draws on contemporary research and provides insights into what is happening to children and why they may do what they do. An invaluable resource for all parents and carers, Your Child from Birth to Eight encapsulates the wisdom and experience of other mums and dads, as well as social workers, health professionals, early childhood practitioners and teachers who engage regularly with children from birth to eight.
