During the first five years, a child develops from a helpless infant into an individual who has mastered a wide range of skills. This title looks at this process of development, the ideal patterns of growth, how manipulative, movement, social, and mental skills are acquired, and how the personality is formed.
The book emphasises the fact that the first five years are the most vital in a child’s growth when he/she develops a wide range of skills. The author has segregated the book into eight chapters i.e. movement, fine motor development, sensory development, mental development, social and emotional development, bowel and bladder development, development concerns and factors affecting development. Each chapter clearly indicates when is the right time for toddler’s check-up and what are the steps taken to get the parent’s participation.
