• Brain studies, 21st Century learning, and mental health risk factors are explored in depth to present current research findings in child development.
• Mental Health Advisories provide information about risk factors, such as toxic stress, to raise awareness of understanding about factors that can contribute to mental health problems throughout life.
• Developmental Milestone and Developmental Delay charts explain the different milestones children accomplish by certain ages to reinforce what to expect developmentally at each stage of the child's life.
• Each chapter is broken into lessons, making it easy to assign manageable chunks and create lessons that introduce and reinforce content for maximum understanding.
