Your Growing Child by Penelope Leach

Your Growing Child by Penelope Leach

Penelope Leach is one of today's foremost authorities on child care, author of the greatly admired Your Baby & Child: From Birth to Age Five, which Dr. T. Berry Brazelton has called a wonderful book. Well researched, well written and sensitive to both parents' and children's needs in the task of growing up together. Now, with the same authority and understanding, she discusses parents' concerns about children of all ages.

Your Growing Child is an A-to-Z compendium of vital information and comfort for every mother and father--from new parents bringing home their first infant to parents of adolescents soon to strike out on their own. Whether she is telling you what to do when your child suddenly develops a high fever or earache or rash, or suggesting how you might determine the reason behind your eight-year-old's unwillingness to go to school, or helping you deal with your adolescent's developing sexuality, Penelope Leach's full and specific advice always reflects not only the practice of leading medical authorities but her own immense expertise and experience as a child psychologist, her extraordinary sensitivity to the feelings of both child and parent, and her grasp of the realities--financial, professional, and social--of life today.

Penelope Leach is a research psychologist and a recognized specialist on child development around the world. Your Baby and Child, Babyhood, and Children First are some of her books. She is a senior research fellow at Birkbeck College, University of London, and the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust, as well as a fellow of the British Psychological Society and a visiting professor at Winchester University. She has served on the American Institute for Child, Adolescent, and Family Studies' Professional Advisory Council, the Sesame Street Curriculum Board, as a consultant editor for Child magazine, vice president of the Health Visitors' Association, and president and chair of the Child Development Society.
