I was reading this book for my HD 110 - Principles and Practices of Teaching Young Children class at IVC . It it was an interesting reading and educational at times.

But there were certain things I disagreed with the author and professor with in the book

Nonetheless this was a good read for me as studying child development, not only to get into the childcare industry.But also, to help me build and write better child characteristics in my upper-young adult to new adult series The Prophesied Mermaid

As I am pursing an career in early childhood education, this is a great book also for parents to know about your childs development, and that newborn to age 8 is the most vital part of their lives. We are parents need to nurture our children
