Customer Reviews

This book is great.

I was forced to buy this book for a Child Development class. But after taking the class and going through the book I wish I would have kept it. I just had a baby a few months ago and what I learned in this book has thought me so much on how to be a good mother. I'll be purchasing again soon.

Great insight

This is a great textbook, required by my teacher, bought it second hand, but it was in a great shape, and great value. Am still studying though, so my review is very external.

Good condition/not on time!

The book was in very good condition however, I thought I had put a rush on the order but, I didn't receive it until a week after my second class. I think even paid extra for fast delivery!

One Word: MAGNIFICENT!

Rarely...very rarely does a book approach this kind of perfection...every once in a while. I had the pleasure of attending a lecture by Gonzalez-Mena, so I realize the depth of her wisdom on babies and toddlers. This book incapsulates all of her ideas with vivid color and comprehensive, but brief, chapters. She even includes tons of citations and research to solidify her points. It's the natural companion for the WestED Program for Infant Toddler Caregivers (PITC). The champion guidebook bar-none for infant/toddler caregivers.

A guide to infant/toddler educaring

Janet Gonzalez-Mena and Dianne Widmeyer Eyer have developed a precise method of working with groups of infants and toddlers based on the relationship principle. Their philosophy is one of respect for the child. I have recommended this book to many new educarers and they all have thanked me, saying it was the best guide they had come across. It is a "must read" for all who work with infants and toddlers in group care as well as for the parents of those children.
