Publisher's Synopsis
In this classic work on early childhood development, Karl K�nig explores the first three years of a child's life by examining the three major achievements that occur during this stage: learning to walk, speak and think.
These are three core faculties and their acquisition, K�nig argues, is 'an act of grace' in every child. He goes on to provide a detailed analysis of this extraordinarily complex process.
This Karl K�nig Archive edition now includes extensive notes and a new introduction by Dr Jan Goeschel, founding President of the Camphill Academy in North America, which puts this well-known text in the context of modern-day research.
The First Three Years of the Child provides fascinating insights into early years' development and will be of great value to educators, medical professionals and carers.
