Price: $4.99 USD. 5090 words. Published on December 8, 2010. .

While raising an only-child is no longer such an unusual experience, it does remain a relatively stressful one.

Price: $4.99 USD. 5070 words. Published on December 8, 2010. .

A newborn has practically no capacity for intelligent behavior, nor can he be expected to begin using his mind on a regular basis until many months later. Furthermore, a child does not turn into a rational creature overnight. Thinking ability emerges gradually, with the child’s behavior thus reflecting an intriguing blend of new advances and remaining limitations at each step along the way.

Price: $4.99 USD. 4920 words. Published on December 8, 2010. .

The major portions of a child’s personality begin to develop before birth. They progress through a series of stages, with each new step resting upon the former one.

If, conversely, the lower stages are shaky, the entire structure will become increasingly unstable as time goes by.
