All You Need to Know

I read this for a class in ocial work and wished I'd read it sooner. Great explanations and information, so helpful for a new parent or a clinician working with children or teens.

Required reading for my masters program and looked forward to reading throughout my course. Great case examples and easy to digest information about child development.

This book gives a set of blueprints of normal child development.It discusses at a great length psychological and emotional mechanisms that any child uses to progress on his/her road to adulthood.The theory benefits from case studies as they clarify main points.I read this book with great interest as I guess every (future) parent should, just to have a rough idea how your child develops and what you can do to facilitate this development.

Not helping me much on the essay I was making at that time,
but later I just couldn't help but to read it till the end!

Great text book to help guide understanding of attachment theory as it relates to children as they grow. Good job explaining concepts without being dry. The case studies are fantastic!
