Read this textbook for my Child, Family, and Community education class. Learned some great things. However, it is slightly outdated and I wish our teacher had chosen a more updated and interactive book.

I read this as part of an Early Childhood Education course. It was an easy read & shared some important information. However, there were many heavily biased arguments that I didn’t feel were necessary to the text.

a bit outdated in some aspects but ultimately a helpful guide to working with families for the prosperity and success of the children in our care
