This book suggests a variety of ways parents can develop a greater awareness of themselves and of their children. Topics covered include: (1) individual and small group sensitivity exercises for adults; (2) examples and uses of time sample and anecdotal observation records; (3) the importance of encouraging self-expression in children through movement, role playing, drawing, painting and telling stories; (4) activities to use with infants, toddlers, and preschoolers designed to help parents study and interpret children's behavior; and (5) ways of keeping in touch, enriching school learning, and coping with problems (reading, emotional, behavioral) of school-age children. Appendices include behavior rating forms for infants through age 5, a suggested checklist for determining possible causes for reading difficulty, and selections from the Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking.
