Product Description
Combining a child-centered philosophy with problem-solving strategies, and a thorough discussion of diversity, Infants, Toddlers, and Caregivers serves as an ideal introduction to curriculum and care for infants and toddlers.
The approach to caregiving that underlies the text is based on Magda Gerber’s philosophy combined with a bold new approach to the extensive 62 years of research done by her late colleague, Emmi Pikler. Focusing on the concept of respect in child care, both pioneers based their curriculum around responding to each individual child's needs in a warm and sensitive manner. Stressing the need for physical and social growth through planned and unplanned learning exercises, Gerber and Pikler's approach to childcare aims to develop the mental, physical, and emotional progress of each child. In addition to the new approach to Pikler's research, the new edition features expanded discussions on race, natural environments and exercise for children.
Infants, Toddlers, and Caregivers applies this approach in a practical and engaging way for students and faculty in introductory early childhood courses.

 Excellent ECE resource August 12, 2009

This textbook is required reading for my Developmentally Appropriate Practices for Infants and Toddlers class. It's is well written, easy to read, gives many examples of quality care, and you're able to access videos that complement the teaching. I recommend it to parents who want to learn about how to "respect your baby" in a whole new light. I also recommend it to child care centers because it's easy to distracted in the busyness of everyday work and lose sight of communicating respect to children.

This is a great textbook, required by my teacher, bought it second hand, but it was in a great shape, and great value. Am still studying though, so my review is very external.

I bought this book because it was required for one of my child development classes. I like how deeply and clearly the writer explains how to take care of young children properly and the essences of quality time spent with children by caregivers without any rushing and stresses. I didn't like it when the author said we should respect them very much like another human being. We should respect them but not treat them like adults in handling and speaking (over-respecting), and follow everything what they do. This may lead to a spoiled child if we treat him too much like an independent "adult". Caregivers should guide and redirect children sometimes, not following them entirely. A good book but I would not keep it on my bookshelf. It will be going back to my school for cash.
Good condition/not on time! October 6, 2009

The book was in very good condition however, I thought I had put a rush on the order but, I didn't receive it until a week after my second class. I think even paid extra for fast delivery!

I have to read this as a textbook for school, but I really like it.
They present a very caring philosophy about how to look after infants and toddlers, and I am learning a lot.
Would highly recommend it for those caring for children of this age group.
