Synopsis

In child development it is all important that parents and teachers learn to discern what the many expressive movements, gestures and changes might be communicating to those who care for him or her. The keener the perception the greater the help offered to the unfolding human being and the more supported the child feels. This book helps adults in perceiving the myriad truths unlocked in children as they grow so that the parents and adults responsible for the little ones can discern those areas needing support or celebration. The book teaches how to look and how to see the child. Recognition is often all a child needs to delight and encourage onward!
