Our first baby is now eight months old and I am interested in finding a book which is written by a respected authority on the development and behavior patterns which may be expected of infants and children as they grow. I need something that deals specifically with each age and with the concerns pf that age (l.e., toilet training, etc.). 1 should also like suggestions for creative activities with the different ages. Have you suggestions, aside from Spoek*s Pocket Book of Baby and Child Care (Pocket Books, 35 cents), which I have? Would you recommend Gesell and his two volumes?
The books by Gesell (The First Five Years of Life (Hoeber, 14.50) and Hou
are excellent and I believe you would find them helpful. The book by Powdermaker and Grimes entitled Children in the Family deals with the physical and mental and emotional life of babies and growing children and contains many excellent and helpful suggestions. Unfortunately, this book is out of print, but you can probably find it in your public library.
A book by Flanders Dunbar entitled Your Child’s Mind and Body (Random House, $2.95) has real significance for parents. She deals specifically with toilet training and other problems of child guidance that are not always dealt with in other books. ' Creative Activities, by Rebecca Rice, published by the Pilgrim Press in Boston ($3.50), would provide you with suggestions in this area. As yon know, there are any number of fine books in the field of child development and the ones mentioned above are simply ones that I am sure yon would find to be helpful.
