Designed to
help family home care providers address the needs of children at
various developmental stages, this manual provides practical suggestions
for encouraging and evaluating children's social and emotional development.
The manual is divided into four sections focusing respectively on
infants, toddlers, preschool children, and school-aged children.
Each section contains: (1) a brief summary of the social and emotional
developmental tasks appropriate for the child of the age level discussed
in the section; (2) suggestions for activities to help caregivers
evaluate each child's developmental level; (3) questions to help
caregivers evaluate their home's potential as an environment for
fostering healthy social and emotional development; (4) a variety
of developmentally appropriate activity ideas; and (5) an activity
evaluation form. Ordering information is also provided for a free
newsletter series, "Family Day Care Connections," and
the "In-Home Daycare" video which was designed to accompany
this manual. (MM)
