Dr.
Rimm is a guardian angel for families." -- Katie Couric
Dr. Sylvia Rimm provides clear, workable advice in this book for
parents and preschool teachers to apply what new research
teaches us about how preschool children learn. Chapters in
the book are organized by topics:
enrichment
of environment, behavior and discipline,
finding good day
care, sibling rivalry,
communicating with child care providers,
temper tantrums, fears, sleep problems, food issues, toilet
training, and preparing children for kindergarten. Says Dr.
Rimm: "Children's preschool years are critical for developing
cognitive abilities, independence, motor coordination, creativity,
and perhaps most important, positive attitudes toward life."
