"Being with Babies is a resource for both beginning and experienced caregivers. Each chapter describes an issue that caregivers of infants face every day, then follows the description with scenarios that illustrate the challenge, provides suggested solutions so caregivers can address the issue while still meeting the needs of the babies, and ends with a review of key points in the chapter." "Being with Babies teaches caregivers how to handle everyday challenges while learning about the developmental stages of babies. This hands-on resource is perfect for caregivers of children 6 weeks to 18 months old, as well as for staff development and resource libraries." "Following the Resources for Infant Educarers (RIE) approach and philosophy, the authors of Being with Babies demonstrate that from the day of birth, infants are unique individuals with a capacity to participate in relationships and interact with the people and objects in their environment."--BOOK JACKET.
