A Therapist's Guide to Child Development: The Extraordinarily Normal Years 1st Edition

I wish this book had existed when I was a young parent! I think it would have helped me understand and anticipate issues as I raised my children. As a counselor, I use this book whenever I start working with a new client. It helps refresh my awareness of typical development at each age. The book provides descriptions of physical, emotional, and social development at each age as well as fears, challenges and causes for concern. And there are summary pages in the back that can be used as a quick reference to share with parents.

This book is an excellent resource for a therapist that works with children and their parents. I use it in the beginning of sessions for most of my clients to educate and offer perspective. It appears that some customers are receiving copyrighted manuals and that’s unfortunate and I wish amazon was better about making sure that doesn’t happen. The copy I received is original and very highly recommended.

This is a must have for therapists!

This is an excellent book for child therapists. I've been working with children for many years, yet still found it helpful. There are handouts in the back of the book that are excellent for parents.

The corner of the book & several pages were bent. I don't like this on a brand new book. Otherwise, the book was in good condition.

Introduce many play therapy for children of various age. As a therapy, we can use this as a therapeutic reference for kid counselling.

This is a wonderful and fantastic book for therapists. It will be so helpful to you as you work with parents and their children.

Love that it's broken up by age groups.
