Professor Velma Melancon presents the sequence of a child’s development. She uses observation tools and the child skill checklist to help the teacher, caregiver, and parents to assess where the child stands in various development sequences so that they can plan activities which enhance the child’s educational growth.

This is a must-read book for parents, teachers, and caregivers. They will gain a clear understanding of the developmental sequence, such as emotional, social, physical, and cognitive, and how these components help them to recognize the child’s strength and help in the development of the child to reach his or her maximum potential.
