This book will become a core educational resource for a wide spectrum of practitioners, especially in developing country settings where much could be achieved by attending to simple measures that are proven to be effective in promoting early childhood development. I recommend it for a wide range of professionals in training, from child care workers to physicians, nurses, teachers and social workers. For seasoned professionals in these fields, and for literate family members, it is equally valuable.
