desertcart.com: Ages and Stages: A Parent's Guide to Normal Childhood Development: 9780471370871: Schaefer, Charles E., DiGeronimo, Theresa Foy: Books

Review: Great book! - This is exactly what I was looking for. It explains each age range (Infant to 18mos), etc. and in several categories including, emotional, physical, mental, etc. It tells you what to expect from your child and things you should and shouldn't do to encourage growth at each stage. It's written well, but simply so it's not too wordy and confusing. The first age section was only about 10 pages, just enough to give me the info without overwhelming me. I found it helpful for hints about my 8 month old son. Most things I knew, but helpful hints like to allow them to be a little frustrated with a toy, but not let them get into a full meltdown. A little frustration is good to help them learn and if you swoop in to help at the slightest problem it's not good for them. So, it's good to know these things so my good intentions don't actually do more harm. I'll be referencing this book for a long time.
Review: Therapists favorite quick resource. My go-to for self and clients - As a busy child therapist, this is my go to...for myself! It’s quick, has a wonderfully pleasing layout, and isn’t inundated with too much information (sometimes I just need to know that what is happening with my kiddos is normal and what I can do, fast!). It reads more like a child development book with tips for parents. It’s such a value-add to my life!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great guide to help parents not over or underestimate their child's capabilities
*by D***N on October 29, 2012*

I downloaded this a while back and only started reading it now that my son is 2.5. I wish I had looked at it before. The content isn't overly long and it gets right to the point about what you can expect developmentally at certain ages. It also gives straight-forward ideas if there is an area that you want to focus. After one evening of reading I was full of all kinds of ideas of things to try. Some things will hopefully help areas where we are running into trouble (like not wanting to go to preschool, which he loves when we are there). Other suggestions are simply things that I never thought to try, but as soon as I read about them, I knew my son was ready and would probably enjoy (like simple daily chores).
