Dr. Norbert Herschkowitz, a Swiss pediatrician and neuroscientist, and his wife, Elinore Chapman Herschkowitz, an American educator, join forces in this guide for parents on childhood development from gestation to birth to six years of age. Focused on the brain and its role in learning and socializing, the text incorporates the most recent psychological and biological knowledge. Each chapter deals with a particular phase of personal and social development, and concludes with a question-and-answer section of questions typically raised by parents, such as the issue of early schooling, sibling differences, testing limits, coping with conflict, reading books together, evaluating day care options, and encouraging "why" questions. This is a seriously written book useful for parents as well as professionals involved with children. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
