Milestones: An In-depth Study of One Child's Development from Birth to Five Years

by Helen Dorman, Clive Dorman

Milestones is an in-depth illustrated study of the development of one child from birth to five years. Research has given us a great insight to how the brain develops and we are gaining a better understanding of the huge importance of social and emotional wellbeing during the early years. Once again, the Dorman's bring their unique style to this fascinating book, which represents ten years observation, study and research. Prior to founding The Children's Project, Helen was for many years a professional photographer and she has used this expertise, together with an enquiring mind, to record not only the key stages of development but also the many subtle changes that are taking place. The result is a joy to see and read. Milestones charts development in a clear and accessible manner. Much more than simply a collection of photographs, the book explains how the brain gets connected and how important this is for future social and emotional health.
