Ages & Stages: A Parent's Guide to Normal Childhood Development

Written in an engaging, practical style, Ages & Stages offers you the benefits of the most current research on child development, featuring helpful tips and techniques to foster your child's maturation. Charles Schaefer and Theresa Foy DiGeronimo tell you what behaviors you can expect as your child grows and how you can help him or her to advance to the next level of development. They include numerous examples, stories, and activities you can use immediately to positively influence your child's development. The audiobook's structure (divided into four stages of child development: birth to 18 months, 18 to 36 months, 36 months to age six, and six to 10 years) allows you to monitor your child's progress, identify the reasons for emotional and psychological differences in siblings, and even determine how your parenting strategies should change as your child grows.
