This title includes a number of Open Access chapters. The rate of
identification of children with neurobiological disabilities has
been on the increase in recent years. Millions of dollars in
research are being spent to understand the factors influencing
these increases. The articles within this compendium shed vital
light on this issue, confirming that various "ordinary" chemical
hazards-of the sort encountered by countless children in their
everyday lives-are having serious impacts on development. This
volume investigates the impact of exposure to tobacco smoke,
household chemicals, lead, agricultural toxins, and flame
retardants.
This title includes a number of Open Access chapters. Nutrition is
not only a basic need that all humans have to sustain life, but it
is also critical to successful early development. This research
compendium lends deeper insights into the links between nutrition
and healthy brain function-and from the reverse perspective,
between nutrition and neurocognitive disorders. This well-organized
and accessible compendium offers a vital research context for
policymakers, educators, medical providers, and families. It
underlines our urgent responsibility to give children a strong
start by improving prenatal and early childhood nutrition.

Why Temperament Matters: Guidance Strategies for Young Children
addresses early childhood behavior guidance strategies related to
children's specific temperament traits. There are nine temperament
traits that influence a child's behavior: Activity Level,
Distractibility, Persistence, Adaptability, Approach/Withdrawal,
Intensity, Regularity, Sensory Awareness, Mood. All nine
temperament traits are grouped into three major categories of
personality: easy/flexible, feisty/spirited, and
slow-to-warm-up/sensitive. This book provides specific ideas about
how a child care provider can adjust the early childhood program
and environment to meet the individual needs of each child's
temperament. There is a specific emphasis on children who fall into
the feisty/spirited or the slow-to-warm-up/sensitive categories
because they are often the ones who are expelled with challenging
behaviors. Why Temperament Matters explains where challenging
behaviors may originate in temperament and provides strategies for
meeting temperament needs that prevent or lessen challenging
behaviors.
This easy-to-use guide gives you a quick overview on many topics
related to working with young children with special needs. Learn
about inclusion in early childhood programs and disability law, as
well as typical vs. atypical development. The quick guide also
covers several specific disabilities/special needs and provides
definitions, common characteristics, and practical strategies for
adaptation.
