Booklist Review

Replete with color photographs that complement the author's explanation of how to work with and care for children as they grow, this succeeds as a text on child care. The contents are divided into broad areas: learning about children and preparing for parenthood, prenatal development and the newborn, infants, toddlers, preschoolers, school-age children, special considerations, and caring for children. By providing many examples of how children change as they grow physically, mentally, socially, and emotionally, the guide helps the reader apply what is described. Decker examines in depth how family situations affect children, the special needs and concerns of children, and the ways one can care for children-taking the reader through each stage of development from prenatal to school-age and presenting for each stage the facts and theories involved in a child's development. A practical, well-organized, and useful book that includes an appendix illustrating first-aid procedures. Glossary; index. ML. 155.4 Child development / Child psychology [CIP] 86-31960
