The Child Under SixAbstract: Eight underlying principles govern all growth and development regardless of age: food, love, training, learning to talk, teaching, accidents, play, and discipline. These principles are more apparent at early ages because behavior changes occur within a short time span. Concrete examples are given to illustrate their validity, along with practical guidelines for understanding children under six and why they behave the way they do. |
