T. Berry Brazelton is a knowledgeable physician with years of experience with thousands of children, and he brings that experience to bear on virtually every issue faced by families with kids, from birth through age 3. In this sterile age of managed care, Brazelton provides the kindly, reassuring approach of your own family physician -- a physician living in your own home, on your own bookshelf. Touchpoints provides chronological accounts of the basic stages of early childhood, presents (in alphabetical reference form) the challenges to development, and explores the important role of each person -- father, mother, caregiver -- in a child's life.
Based upon 3 decades of continuous practice and internationally recognized research. The only childcare reference by a pedeatrician who has both medical and psychoanalytic training. Part 1:Development-basic stages of early development. Part 2: Challenges to Development - how to understand, defuse, and prevent potential problems. Part 3: Allies in Development - the importance of each person in your child's life.
