Synopsis

This comprehensive text focuses on the developmental norms of infants and toddlers. It includes all the information students need to provide the best possible care. It emphasizes the whole child and covers all areas of development: social, emotional, cognitive, and physical. Because of the rapid growth of young children from birth to age three, the developmental traits are outlined in weekly and monthly increments.
