This book is actually variations on a theme - that infants and young children develop to their greatest potential when they have parents available who are able and willing to be there physically and emotionally.
I read this years ago for an education class and recently decided to reread it to use the techniques with my nephew. This is a short, easy to read, practical book with ideas that work. Teaching emotional intelligence to children is such an important task; this book by Dr. Weininger clearly lays out strategies for educators and parents alike.
