It will not only benefit students of child development, but parents, child care providers, and early interventionists as well. It clearly and accurately presents how infants and toddlers develop, and how that development is best facilitated." -- J. Ronald Lally, Ed D., Co-Director WestEd, Center for Child & Family Studies, San Francisco, CA "This is a beautifully written book. The writing style is fluent and clear. The writing level is appropriate for undergraduate students. This text is special and stands out because it emphasizes the critical nature of early intimate loving interactions with caregivers in order for a baby to flourish. The key strength is the completeness of coveragehellip;This workrs"s coverage is far broader than that of many other texts currently available." -- Alice S. Honig, Syracuse University "I do not know of other texts that address both comprehensive infant development as well as curriculum development and program planning. I certainly would consider adopting this text in my courses. Child development must be the basis of working with infants, toddlers, and families, and I think this text captures that philosophy." -- Holly Brophy-Herb, Michigan State University
