can influence a child's behavior, such as terrorism and disasters, preschool choices, bullying, and divorce. Organized according to the
child's age, it takes readers from the neonatal visit and newborn exam all the way through the late adolescent years. Additional topics
include ADHD and learning disabilities, autism and other disorders of communication, and reactions to stress. Clinical examples illustrate
development and behavior.
