Touchpoints Essential Reference - P: Your Child's Emotional and Behavioral Development: Birth to 3

Amazon.com Reviews
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.

From pregnancy to first grade, all the concerns and questions that parents have about their child's behavior, feelings, and development are anticipated and answered in both chronological and reference form. Underlying this guidance is the touchpoints concept that has shaped Dr. Brazelton's office practice and research for over three decades. "Touchpoints" are the universal spurts of development and the trying periods of regression that accompany them throughout childhood. In this book—as in his office—Brazelton uses them as windows to help parents understand their child's behavior and prevent future problems.
