From Birth to One: The year of opportunity
By Maria Robinson (Open University Press, 16.99, 01628 770224)
Reviewed by Sandy Green, early years consultant Maria Robinson has focused here on a most important aspect of individual development in young infants, namely their emotional development.
The publication emphasises the effects of parents' and early years professionals' own experiences on their care of young infants, and highlights the need for personal reflection.
