Milestones
An in-depth study of one child's development from birth to five years
Milestones by Helen and Clive Dorman (authors of The Social Toddler) is an in-depth illustrated study of the development of one child, Hannah, from birth to five years.
Research has given us a great insight to how the brain develops and we are gaining a better understanding of the huge importance of social and emotional wellbeing during the early years. The Dorman’s bring their unique style to this fascinating book, which represents ten years observation, study and research.
Prior to founding The Children’s Project, Helen Dorman was for many years a professional photographer and she has used this expertise, together with an enquiring mind, to record not only the key stages of development but also the many subtle changes that are taking place. The result is a joy to see and read.
Milestones charts development in a clear and accessible manner. Much more than simply a collection of photographs, the book explains how the brain gets connected and how important this is for future social and emotional health – and how parents, family & friends and carers can learn a great deal about their children by simply observing them. Rather than suggest at what age things should happen, the book charts the 1-2-3 of development, so helping the reader anticipate when the next milestone will be reached.
In addition to physical development, the book charts Hannah’s social and emotional development. How she learned to talk and think, her developing attachments and friendships.
The book also seeks to dispel myths and old wives’ tales that are based on outdated and discredited beliefs.This is especially important, since the journey from being born to starting nursery and school is the most dramatic any phase in a person's life.
