Recommendations for infant and toddler care and development based
on current brain research and its implications How much do
children's early experiences affect their cognitive and social
development? How important is the parent's role in child
development? Is it possible to ameliorate or reverse the
consequences of early developmental deficits? This vitally
important book draws on the latest research from the social
sciences and studies on the brain to answer these questions and to
explore what they mean for social policy and child and family
development. The authors affirm that sound social policy providing
for safe and appropriate early care, education, health care, and
parent support is critical not only for the optimal development of
children, but also for strengthening families, communities, and the
nation as a whole. Offering a wealth of advice and recommendations,
they explain: * the benefits of family leave, child care, and home
visitation programs; * the damage that child abuse inflicts; * the
vital importance of nutrition (and breast feeding) for pregnant
women and young children; * the adverse effects that occur in
misguided efforts to disseminate research too early; * and more.
Written by experts in the field of early child development, care,
and education, the book is essential reading for parents and
policymakers alike.
