Your Child at Play: Two to Three Years: Growing Up, Language, and the Imagination

by Marilyn Segal PhD

Overview

Two year olds progress at such a rapid rate that they often leave their families dazzled and a bit confused. This easy-to-read, parent-friendly book, illustrated with over 130 photographs of real children at play, provides insight into how two year olds see themselves; how they get along with others; and how they learn language. Here are hundreds of innovative ideas to help your child in all these efforts as well as suggestions for dealing with potential problems. Some of the subjects covered include:

• self-definition • resolving conflicts • living with siblings • playing with friends • listening, speaking, and communicating • imaginative play • visual and physical exploration
