the learning child. Jane Healy seems to have it all—the richness
and insight from the think tank, the wisdom and experience of her
life.” —David Mallery, Independent School Quarterly
“A sane and readable guide to the burgeoning literature on human
development. I particurly liked the discussions on the perils of
superbabying and on the fostering of creativity.” —Dr. Howard

Noboday Makes child development and it's practical applications so

"This book became an instant classic when it was published in 1987,
and has been a cornerstone for educators ever since. Now revised
and updated to reflect recent findings in brain research, this book
guides parents, teachers, and caregivers as they gauge the level of
development of an individual child's brain." –Ingram
