Extremely detailed and thorough text on the psychological development of children and their assessment at various stages of growth. A little too verbose at times, I wanted them to just get to the point, but it reads easily enough.

This is my favorite child development book. I refer to it often in my practice as a pediatric NP. I've bought 2 editions. The first actually has nicer graphics. The second has more and updated information.

A very informative, readable book on child development. The tables listing developmental milestones by age are very helpful, as are the 'red flag' boxes.
