Parenting the Hurt Child: Helping Adoptive Families Heal and Grow (Paperback)

From Booklist
In this sequel to their Adopting the Hurt Child (1998), Keck and Kupecky explore how parents can help adopted or foster children who have suffered neglect or abuse. They begin by outlining changes in adoption and fostering procedures in recent years and use case studies to document the friction and disruption introduced into a household when a hurt, adopted child is brought into the family.

The book includes a variety of resources on, among other topics, finance (more…)

Caring for Your Baby and Young Child, Revised Edition: Birth to Age 5 (Shelov, Caring for your Baby and Young Child, Birth to Age 5) (Paperback)

Review
It’s Sunday after dark. Your baby is sick, hurt, or acting strangely, and the doctor won’t be in until tomorrow. How can you find out what to do when your healthcare professionals are unreachable?

The revised edition of Caring for Your Baby and Young Child: Birth to Age 5 (the American Academy of Pediatrics’ reference book for infancy through preschool), provides a wealth of authoritative child-care information in an easy-to-use format. The first half of this hefty text serves as a comprehensive parenting manual, and includes a month-by-month guide to the first year, nutritional information, basic care instructions, and physical, emotional, and social developmental milestones for children up to 5 years old. While the American Academy of Pediatrics represents the mainstream child-rearing philosophies embraced by thousands of baby doctors, it does not reflect the entire gamut of child-rearing theory.
