9780443057076: The Normal Child

Synopsis

This title is directed primarily towards health care professionals outside of the United States. It provides a modern description of the normal variation of physical and behavioural features in the infant and young child. By reference to the abnormal, it will explain how to recognise and distinguish between normal variation and abnormal development that should be investigated further.

  • Provides a thorough description of the normal, and therefore a sound baseline for practice
  • Promotes appropriate referral, investigation and treatment, by explaining what is truly 'abnormal' and giving examples
  • Identifies normal appearances that mimic and can be confused with the abnormal
  • Written by a multi-professional group of contributors each of whom brings special expertise - e.g. speech therapists on aspects of communication
  • "synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.

    Review

    This new text was fortuitously released as I began my own placement in Child Health and I found it served as an excellent introduction to child development. In particular it highlighted the normal variation that can be seen in children, both physically and psycho-behaviourally.

    It is written with all health care professionals in mind and consequently explores a broad range of areas related to child development, all with an emphasis on child health.
