Summary

Winner of the Early Childhood News Directors' Choice Award! Perfect for early childhood educators, caregivers, and Parents alike. Creative Resources for Infants and Toddlers Series is a series of titles divided by child care center and classroom criteria. This series explores child development at the critical stages of life, such as the predictable and universal patterns of development that occur in all domains, including physical, cognitive, language and communication, social, and emotional. The resources are arranged by age: Infant Resources: birth to six months, and seven months to 12 months, and Toddler Resources: 13 to 24 months and 25 to 36 months. Understanding developmental norms allows caregivers and parents to create and implement experiences that support and enhance the various levels of child development. With additional references, Web links, and online resources associated with each individual age group, Creative Resources for Infants and Toddlers Series provides all the information needed to understand the developmental needs of the child.
