Early Childhood Development: From Theory to Practice, Second Edition

Early Child Development: From Theory to Practice, second edition, is an applied guide to child development for those who plan to work with children from birth to age 8 years. 

Its focus is on developmental milestones for each age and domain and various ways to plan, create, and implement developmentally appropriate environments, care and learning opportunities. While helping students identify normative benchmarks, the text also helps them understand accepted ranges of diversity within each area due to normal variability, as well as cultural, racial, and other factors. 

Students are given information on how to seek help regarding a child's development, where and how to make referrals, how to talk with families, and how to obtain needed resources.
