Start Learning: Find Out How Your Kid Is Developing

More about the book

An art project is chosen and the background information read, so that you can see what is expected of your child at his/her age. As the art project is completed together and the child practices his/her skills, you will gain an insight into the child's learning progress. It can be a struggle for parents to find out what is actually meant by normal development. Comparing your child against his or her peers can be misleading, while the opinions of friends and carers can appear contradictory and vague. This guide is for parents to answer questions with facts. You will learn what to expect and when from your two to five year old, help you to understand the learning process, and be provided with a straightforward method to assess that development yourself. This unique approach makes it possible to see for yourself if she is achieving at a level that is 'normal' for her age--based on the UK's Early Years Foundation Stage that professionals use for the same purpose. The activities in these books are widely used by professionals. Start Learning covers art projects on these themes: personal and social development; physical development; mathematics; language and literacy; creative development and science.
