Welcome to those that are new to the class, and welcome back to everyone else!
You may be familiar with Ages and Stages of your child or seen this handout before, but take another look. Your child is growing, so s/he could be at a different stage now compared to when you last saw this handout.
Here are resources with a quick overview on your child's development, common issues and what you can do at this stage.
Zero to Three Age Based Handouts (0-36 months)
Three to Four Year Olds
Four to Five Year Olds
Consider This:
Did anything surprise you about your child's development?
Is there a suggestion on the list you want to try?
QUIET OBSERVATION
In class, we will be taking time to do Quiet Observation of our children. Quietly watching our children in action is an ideal way to learn about child development. The principals used in class are taken from Magda Gerber's ideas of the RIE Approach. Pick up the article in class that explains this. Also, here is one RIE Expert's perspective of it:
Babies and the Art of Observation
Book Discussion
This semester we will be reading the classic parenting book, How To Talk So Kids Will Listen and Listen So Kids Will Talk, by Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish. Please pick up a copy from the library, purchase one or get and audio version. Our discussions will begin in February.

Here are the lyrics to some of our favorite songs.
