Publisher's Synopsis
A CHILD'S WORLD is a major Channel 4 TV tie-in, which examines the development of children between the ages of 2 and 12. Focusing on behaviour and the mind, it charts the achievements that mark the journey to becoming a fully fledged person. Beautifully illustrated with full-colour photos, the book examines how children gain a sense of self; navigate the social world; learn the vital skill of lying; make sense of the physical world; come to understand life, death and sex; and, finally, reach full independence.
This is a book that has more in common with Desmond Morris than with the numerous 'how to' parenting manuals. As such, it is a fascinating insight into how your child's mind works.
