The social and cognitive development of children is a
complex yet crucial process for parents to understand, and
though there are numerous books on child development, A Good
Start in Life stands out from the rest as an acclaimed and
important work on the connections between childhood brain
and behavioral development. This new paperback edition, updated with the latest
information and new material, offers parents and educators a
rich and invaluable resource on how children learn to live
in family and society from birth to age six. Norbert
Herschkowitz, MD, and his wife Elinore Chapman Herschkowitz
draw on their lifetime of experience in studying infants and
children to explain how brain development shapes a child’s
personality and behavior. Organizing their narrative by age,
the authors examine a wide range of social development
issues, from appropriate rule-setting to the development of
key character elements in a child such as moral sensibility,
temperament, language development, playing, aggression,
impulse control, and empathy. Some of the most popular features of the hardcover edition
are retained here, including the question-and-answer section
that concludes each chapter with real questions posed by
parents to Dr. Herschkowitz, as well as brain maps and
charts that display milestones in the development of various
skills. Additional new material addresses concerns about
prematurely born babies and the issue of resilience in children. In today’s world, children grow up in an incredibly complex
and highly sensory environment. A Good Start in Life offers
a clear, concise, and richly detailed guide infused with
warmth and encouragement that enables parents and educators
to constructively stimulate and shape their children’s
cognitive and social development.
