The Gesell Institute's Child Behavior: From Birth to Ten / Frances L. Ilg and Louise Bates Ames

Frances L. Ilg and Louise Bates Ames describe patterns of behavior from infancy through age ten, drawing on the developmental observations of the Gesell Institute. The guide examines everyday concerns such as eating, sleeping, toilet training, fears, tantrums, sibling relationships and adjustment to school. It relates these challenges to changes in a child's stage of development and discusses how parents can interpret behavior and respond to problems of discipline and family life.
