Penelope Leach follows the first five years of life with close attention to what babies and young children experience as they grow. Moving from the newborn months through toddlerhood and the preschool years, she considers the changing needs, abilities and emotions that lie behind children's behaviour. Everyday subjects such as feeding, sleep, play, communication and family relationships are presented within a broader understanding of development. The book's characteristic emphasis is on seeing events from the child's point of view while acknowledging the questions and pressures parents face. This edition offers readers a detailed account of Leach's approach to early childhood and will interest those exploring her influential ideas about responsive care, development and the relationship between children and adults.
