Description

Distinct from other books on observation techniques, Beaty's practical text, "Observing Development of the Young Child," Sixth Edition, presents her unique system of observing and recording child development using an invaluable planning tool, The Child Skills Checklist. The integration of strategies and children's books to encourage development is a major focus of this best-selling text. Features of this text: Clearly and practically explains what students should look for developmentally in children in their care so that they have a basis for understanding what they are seeing. Highlights use of a practical tool, The Child Skills Checklist, to assess children's development in 11 areas: self-esteem, emotional development, social play, prosocial behavior, large and small motor development, cognitive development, spoken language, emerging literacy skills, art skills, and imagination. Incorporates practical activities to implement with young children and their families to encourage development. Many up-to-date multicultural children's books are listed to support developmental progress.
