Infants, Toddlers, and Caregivers

Author: Janet Gonzales-Mena; Dianne Widmeyer Eyer; Janet Gonzalez-Mena  Publisher: Mayfield Pub Co  Date: 1996

Description: This text is a very practical introduction to the principles and practices of caregiving for infants and toddlers. It combines a child-centered philosophy with problem-solving strategies, and provides a thorough discussion of gender role stereotyping and multicultural issues in childcare. The philosophy of caregiving that underlies this book comes from Magda Gerber and Tom Forrest, M.D., as well as the earlier work of Emmi Pikler. These pioneers of the field stressed the need to integrate (1) knowledge of play as curriculum, (2) concepts of child development with caregiving, (3) the physical and social environment, and (4) adult relations. - from Amazon
