Beaty€s best-selling Observing Development of the
Young Child teaches its audience how to observe, record,
and interpret the development of children ages three through five
by utilizing a unique checklist to document each aspect of
development. This proven resource discusses what these young
children are like, and how to support them in their early
development with exciting hands-on activities. Even though the new
edition has undergone quite an extensive revision, long-time
adoptees and fans of the book in its previous editions can rest
assured that the author has preserved many of the original features
while adapting them to new circumstances of today€s early
childhood education environment, the key issues, and new research.
Streamlined from previous editions, with 12 chapters instead of 14,
this practical, easy-to-use system is based on a progression of
children€s skill development in six major areas: emotional,
social, physical, cognitive, language, and
creative.  Used successfully in early childhood programs
all over the country since its inception, this unique and mainstay
text looks at child development versus child behaviors, preparing
its readers to become avid observers, recording what he/she sees,
mastering how to interpret the data, and becoming adept at how to
use the observations to plan for the young individuals they will
encounter.
