Review Quotes

"The dos and don'ts, information on developmental stages, possible reasons for behavior, and recommendations of what else to do found in this guide provide the reader with a primer of accepted early childhood practice. This guide would be especially helpful for novice child care personnel--a copy in every classroom."
--Barbara A. Nilsen, EdD, Author of Week by Week: Documenting the Development of Young Children

"This book doesn't beat around the bush. It gets straight to the point and outlines for caregivers and families the fact that many of the behaviors they think are 'bad' are natural. It gives great pointers for better understanding children's actions rather than be upset by them."
--Amy Hood Hooten, EdD, infant-toddler specialist, CCR&R
