Review Quotes

"Given the plasticity of the early developing brain, caregivers play a critical role in the child's physical, intellectual, and emotional development. Needed is a resource that gives caregivers well-researched and practical examples on how to create an enriched environment for young children. This exceptional book, along with its companion volume, Activities for Responsive Caregiving, meets this need. It needs to be read by every early childhood educator, child care provider, and parent of children birth to two. Our children will be the beneficiaries."
