Understanding Infant Development, Understanding Toddler Development, and Understanding Preschooler Development.
These are very gently preowned and show very little or no signs of use. They were bought new and all used for one class in one semester; each one was used for a few weeks.
This new three-book series on childhood development is adapted from an authoritative, recently updated early childhood education textbook. Teachers and caregivers of children ages birth to five years old will find practical, easy-to-understand guidance for enhancing their skills in supporting children's physical, psychosocial, and cognitive development.The books include tables showing developmental milestones and stages, a discussion of the role of the caregiver in each developmental domain, and vignettes of families with children representing developmental challenges and successes.
