Excerpt from Guide Book to Childhood: A Hand Book for Members of the American Institute of Child Life In describing the varied service of the Institute, we find that we have compiled a volume of such scope and usefulness that it really is a guide book to childhood. Although arranged distinctly for the purpose of explaining the Institute, the parent may perhaps better realize how the book covers the whole problem of the home by think ing of its contents in the following order: Suggestive questions (pp. 32-34) and topics (pp. 77-80) open up the real problems of the modern' home.

Wisdom is one of the greatest qualities that any human being can possess. Through this most desirable attribute, we are able to live happy, healthy, and successful lives. Generally, we do not learn wisdom until we are well along in years. Unfortunately, for many of us, the delay in attaining wisdom can be costly and can often limit our opportunities to achieve our fullest potential. However, this need not be the case when it comes to your children and grandchildren. If you are willing to take an active role in transferal of wisdom to them at an early age, they can have access to all the wonderful blessings that result from possessing this highly coveted attribute. A Child's Guide to Wisdom was designed to serve as a guide for parents in the transferal of wisdom to their children. The book offers a collection of fifty key principles in the form of easy-to-remember, common-sense-based definitions, intended to build character in your child by instilling in him or her important qualities that will result in a life of wisdom and success. Even before the child is able to read on his own, exposure to the principles in A Child's Guide to Wisdom through oral repetition, can provide tremendous benefit in the early shaping and development of the child's character. For the older student, the book offers the parent or guardian a compensation system that may be used to motivate the reader to learn the principles. Mastery of the principles presented in A Child's Guide to Wisdom can add great value and effectiveness to the way in which the child approaches problems and addresses challenges throughout his or her life. This simple, yet powerful book is a must for every home library and a valuable resource for organized youth training and development programs.

This guidebook on family–professional partnerships has been used as a go-to early intervention resource in university coursework, for inservice professional development, and as a support to families in (or considering) early intervention. This new edition has been completely revised to reflect recent research and respond to feedback that the author accumulated from users of the book, including practicing professionals and university instructors. With a focus on how families and professionals can collaborate effectively so that infants and toddlers (0–3) learn, grow, and thrive, chapters address: child learning and development, family functioning and priorities, early intervention as a support and not a substitute, and planning “what’s next” after early intervention. Specific components of early intervention—evaluation and assessment, program planning, intervention implementation, service coordination, and transition—are also discussed. This hands-on resource uses stories of families in early intervention to illustrate key concepts and provides checklists that readers can use to assess their experiences in early intervention. “This guidebook is my go-to source with families, professionals, and students. The newest edition expands upon an already exceptional book with the most recent policy and evidence-based practice recommendations. I can’t keep enough copies in my library.” —Susan Fowler, director, Illinois Early Intervention Clearinghouse “Supporting and empowering parents to help their infants and toddlers with delays and/or disabilities to learn and grow is key to future successes. Bonnie’s Keilty’s comprehensive work on the new edition of The Early Intervention Guidebook for Families and Professionals will help to insure that Part C Early Intervention around the country will stay focused on its work with and for families.” —Roxane Romanick, Founding Board Member Early Intervention Family Alliance
