How is a two-year-old's capacity for experiencing emotion different from a five-year-old's? What can and should you do to encourage your child's development of motor skills? Can you stimulate your baby to be smarter? How should you help your child differentiate between right and wrong? The Yale Child Study Center, founded in 1911, is world renowned not only for its contributions to the scientific and clinical understanding of infant and child development but also for bringing the insights of its cutting-edge research directly to parents. The Yale Child Study Center Guide to Understanding Your Child is a book that empowers parents to build healthy families in their own way, finding their own style. The authors map out how children develop and what parents do -- often in the most basic of their daily interactions with their children -- to enhance their children's growth. They consider both the child's and the parents' perspectives as they address an extraordinary array of issues and topics, from choosing child care to balancing family and work responsibilities, from coping with bullies to talking with your child about significant life passages such as new siblings, divorce, and death. Unrivaled in its scope and authority, this practical, comforting, easy-to-use guide is steeped in the common sense and compassion that are the hallmarks of the Yale Child Study Center. It is destined to become the standard by which all other books on child development are measured.
