do to help. This book provides parents and caregivers with the information

children already have, and involve no special preparation. They are also fun
to play. The book is divided into six areas--cognitive, linguistic,
physical, sensory, social and emotional - for convenient reference. General

provided so that parents can place their child's progress in context.
