Product Description

Product Description
Child Care & Development, fifth edition, is the bestselling textbook for students following child care, child development and welfare courses. This new edition has been thoroughly updated in line with the very latest specifications as well as current practice and terminology.



Extensively illustrated in full colour, Child Care & Development is divided into eight core sections:



Family and home

Becoming a parent

Caring for babies

Development

Early childhood

Food

Health and safety

The family in the community



It includes guidelines for the all-important Child Study, as well as investigations, discussions and activities relating to Level 2 Key Skills.



Written specifically for the GCSE Home Economics: Child Development module, Child Care & Development is also the ideal textbook for the CACHE Foundation Award in Caring for Children, CACHE Level 2 Certificate in Child Care and Education, SVQ and NVQ Level 2 in Early Years Care and Education, and a wide range of similar courses in child care, child development, and health and social care at Level 2.



Child Care & Development is now accompanied by Child Care & Development: Revision Exercises (ISBN 0 340 88916 0), an essential learning, testing and revision resource.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good basic guide for all early years workers, 2 Feb 2002
By A Customer
An updated version of one of the most popular child care and development books used by students on all child care courses, whether studying for a NVQ or the CACHE diploma. Easy to follow with links to all areas of child care and welfare. Each chapters has follow up questions and extensions or activities for students to help them develop their skills further.

5.0 out of 5 stars GCSE Child development textbook, 26 Oct 2005
By A Customer
I think that this book is great. It has all that you need to know not just about child development but also about personal things that you might just want to find out about. This book will surely guide you in the right direction to getting a great mark in your child development GCSE. It sets you questions at the end of each topic so you can be sure that you have understood everything which is very helpful. It even has things that you should involve in your child study, which is great if you are slightly unsure about what to do. At the back of the book there is a coursework guide that I have found very handy! The index at the back allows you to quickly and efficiently find out what you need to know.
The book is so good that you can actually use it for yourself- you may find out things that you never wanted to ask adults or friends. The diversity that is displayed in this book truly makes child development fun and exciting.
If you are looking for a little help in this great subject or you just want to get more information on a particular aspect of growing up, then this is the book for you. Its clearly laid out and it doesn't make you feel inadequate. The best book that anyone can buy.
