Routledge ebook From Birth to Five Years 2E

This eBook version includes the following enhancements: - 17 videos placed throughout the text providing real life examples of the behaviours and assessment exercises described in the book. - Supplementary content including explanations of developmental theories. It begins with a practical framework for developmental examination, then progresses through each of the key developmental domains, offering guidance on enquiry and observation, and on how to chart typical and atypical patterns, with ‘red flags’ for recognising significant delay or disordered development. Advice is also given on how to make sense of the findings and how best to communicate this information to parents. An updated companion website is available at www.routledge.com/cw/sharma, which includes the following additional learning material: an interactive timeline of the key developmental domains; research summaries and video clips demonstrating practical assessment skills. Developed alongside the original Mary Sheridan’s From Birth to Five Years: Children’s Developmental Progress, this unique guide expands on its normative developmental stages by offering practical guidance for health, education and social care professionals, or anyone concerned with monitoring children’s developmental progress
