Practcal parenting .. children think they can rule you.. lol and what interest them is play.. play is the root of all child development.. so look at childrens play theres lots on the net .. x

Answer 2

You'll impress your teachers and give yourself a great foundation if you stick with Jean Piaget's books. If those are too hard, try some developmental psych books.

Answer 3

Love and Logic is a very good behavior modification book. They have one for early childhood too!

And I can also vouch for Yardsticks which was mentioned above.

Answer 4

The book listed below will give you a list of what students should be able to do and their behaviors at certain ages. You can find it at Amazon, or it may be in your school's professional library. It is a very useful book for all teachers.
