Guidance of Young Children: A Comprehensive Guide to Positive Child Management Strategies

By Marian Marion

Introduction

Written in a conversational style, yet solidly grounded in child development theory and research, Guidance of Young Children, 10th Edition focuses on positive and developmentally appropriate guidance of young children. Based on the author’s belief that adults need to have realistic expectations of children, the book emphasizes understanding young children’s development in addition to major guidance theories. Real-world examples and case studies illustrate guidance in action, while analysis and application activities give readers a chance to construct their own basic approach to child guidance.
