Professionals need an authoritative source of advice and guidance on how to administer, score, and interpret the test to use it properly.

Raising Happy Healthy Children

Raising Happy Healthy Children

By: Sally Goddard Blythe

With new information carefully added, this book examines the crucial early years from a child's perspective. It draws on the latest scientific research to show how the first few years determine the way children develop, body and mind, for the rest of their lives. The keys to this development are parents, and in particular mothers. Raising Happy Healthy Children presents convincing research to show how a baby's relationship with its mother has a lasting, deep impact. Recent social changes, such as delayed motherhood, juggling of work/life balance, limited uptake of breastfeeding, and use of parent-substitute baby equipment and electronic devices, are interfering with key developmental milestones that are essential for wellbeing in later life.

The Genius of Natural Childhood

Secrets of Thriving Children

By: Sally Goddard Blythe

52% of parents admit they never read to their child. Toddlers watch 4.5 hrs of TV daily. More children are obese, enter school developmentally delayed and need special education. So Sally Goddard Blythe draws on neuroscience to unpack the wisdom of nursery rhymes, playing traditional games and fairy stories for healthy child development. She explains why movement matters and how games develop children's skills at different stages of development. She offers a starter kit of stories, action games, songs and rhymes.
