Caregiver-child interactions are critically important in promoting cognitive, language, and social-emotional learning in young children. With examples and detailed explanations, Dr. Alice Honig’sThe Best for Babies: Expert Advice for Assessing Infant-Toddler Programs illuminates the behaviors and interactions that teachers or care providers should provide for the children in their care. The book offers an easy-to-use checklist that directors, mentor teachers, or parents can use to assess each teacher-child interpersonal relationship and the ways caregivers offer learning and living experiences for young children. Published by Gryphon House, the book will be released in November 2014.
