If you're a parent, you may have already discovered
the dearth of literature on a very important period in
your child's life: ages two to five, known as the
preschool years. The first book of its kind, The
Preschool Years brings together in a single, superbly
organized volume the advice of parents, and the latest
thinking of experts, on one hundred issues that arise
during this crucial time.
Ellen Galinsky and Judy
David have collected an impressive wealth of knowledge
from such experts as T. Berry Brazelton, Benjamin Spock,
and Bruno Bettleheim, as well as insights from parents
themselves, to present a range of practical solutions to
everyday problems. Taking into account the very
different needs of a wide range of families, The
Preschool Years answers specific questions on such
topics as:
-- Discipline
-- Expressing and
Controlling Anger
-- Television
-- Making Good
Family Rules
-- Shyness and Aggressiveness
--
Sharing
-- Moral Development
-- Friends
-- Real
and Imaginary
-- Coping with Temperamental
Dispositions
-- Eating and Mealtimes
-- Shopping
with a Preschooler
-- Building Social Skills
--
Handling Fear
-- Choosing Child-Care Programs
--
Establishing Daily Routines
-- Encouraging Healthy
Sex Roles
-- Handling Separation and Divorce
--
Holidays, Vacations, Moving
-- And much more
In
its scope, depth, and comprehensiveness, The Preschool
Years is a unique contribution to the field. Whether you
are a parent, an educator, or a child-development
expert, this is the book about preschool children that
you should own.
