From Birth to Five Years, based on the pioneering work of Mary Sheridan, is widely regarded as the go-to reference for health, education and social care professionals, or anyone concerned with the developmental progress of pre-school children.

In this new fourth edition, the text has been developed to further align it with current child development philosophies and practices, and to support the wider group of professionals that are now required to take steps for promoting children’s development as part of their assessment and management plans. This book aims to improve the clinical management of children with developmental disorders, through providing the full range of developmental attainments, methods of observation, and advice about when to seek help.

Features of this completely revised edition include:

    • For students and tutors – information on theoretical aspects of development, with further reading suggestions and references including the most recent international studies in the field

    • A new section on the development of attention and self-regulation

    • Contemporary case studies with guidance on when to raise concerns for students and teachers

    • Discussion points to stimulate class debate

    To complement this book, a new companion volume, From Birth to Five Years: Practical Developmental Examination, offers a step-by-step ‘how to’ guide, including guidance on enquiry and observation, how to chart typical and atypical patterns, and ‘red flags’ for recognising significant delay or abnormality.

    To consolidate and expand on the practical and theoretical information across both books, a new companion website is available at www.routledge.com/cw/sharma, which includes the following additional learning material:

      • An interactive timeline of the key developmental domains

      • Introductions to theory with links to further reading

      • Research summaries

      • Video clips demonstrating practical assessment skills

        5.0 out of 5 stars Great quick reference of milestones and early development for students and health professionals
        Reviewed in the United States on 12 May 2014
        Verified Purchase
        I chose this because I have been using earlier versions of this for teaching health care professionals, especially young medical students for years. It is a great reference for students when they are first learning about development. It gives them a good idea of the behaviours to look for at each milestone/age and more recent versions have expanded on sensory and the importance of social and emotional development during early childhood.

        5.0 out of 5 stars The easy to read guide: A great book for understanding the different stages in you child's development
        Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 June 2016
        Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
        This is THE missing instruction manual when having a child. Along with the web companion, this is a great book for understanding the different stages in you child's development. It is written in an easy to understand language with clear illustrations and graphs.

        It does a good job in explaining the wide definition of "normal" in child development, and that different childs will have different rates and order for the steps.

        The book also made us better at talking to our child care spesialist. It is also good to know "what's next", and how to interact with your child for the next steps. We have given copies of this books as gift to other friends, as this is by far the best book I've read.

        This book is an amazing resource not only for learning but also -in fact especially- for teaching Child Psychology. It comes with a companion website with amazing and really useful videos and a lot of resources for teaching and studying this subject. Well-done, clear and complete.

        I recently got a job working with under fives and bought this book to refresh myself on cold development of under fives. I like that the first part of the book is stating key development points then the second half of the book is more in depth. So I can use the first half as a quick point of reference and the second half to learn more in depth about child development for under fives.
