Understanding Children

Richard Saul Wurman

0/5 ( ratings)

The Barnes & Noble Review
Chances are, if you're an expecting or new parent -- or even a parent who has the benefit a little practice -- some of the many weighty issues on your mind include the health of your child, potty training, your finances, discipline, diapers, and possibly even legal matters like wills. For some parents, special circumstances -- such as divorce, adoption, or having a special-needs child -- add to this list of concerns.
Arming readers with information that will ease their worries and leave them better prepared to be good parents, Understanding Children addresses a vast array of topics -- pregnancy, child development, nutrition, education, and typical expenses are just a few. Sections aimed at dads, adoptive parents, and grandparents -- as well as a discussion of diversity -- prove that the book's audience is as broad as its scope is wide. An important final section offers information about single parenting, special-needs children, poverty, child abuse, and trauma.
No detail is deemed too trivial in this sourcebook, with visual guides for diapering a baby and enough interesting statistics and facts to quell the fears of even the most anxious parents. And an added bonus is the book's colorful, magazine-style layout, which invites hours of browsing. Understanding Children is a sure to be a constant companion to parents in the first years of their child's life.
