Infant and Child in the Culture of Today: The Guidance of Development in Home and Nursery School (Master Work Series)

Rating:
Summary: Milestones
Review: Based on a longitudinal study of children starting in the 1930's, this book describes behavior of children at certain ages. It does not tell you how to raise your child. It simply tells you what to expect at 3 months, two years, eight years, etc. Instead of perceiving your child's behavior as peculiar or bad (and therefore punishing the child), the parent can see the behavior as normative. It enables acceptance of your child as he or she is and should be.
