The first five years of a child's life are an exciting and important time. Children change and develop at this stage at a fast rate. Experiences they have often influence their personality and behaviour for the rest of their lives. This book, in downloadable pdf format, describes how children learn and develop during their preschool years. Chapters cover basic information on children's growth physically, emotionally, socially and cognitively, and some common developmental problems and possible solutions.
