Product Description
For Charles Fernyhough, the birth of his daughter Athena was an opportunity to re-evaluate much of what he had learned as a lecturer and researcher in developmental psychology. Drawing on the detailed notes he kept on her development, Fernyhough uses Athena's story as an entry point into an account of how a child's mind develops before the age of three. Unlike dry childcare manuals, or patronising TV tie-ins, this unique book taps into a parent's wonder at the processes of psychological development in an engaging, child-centred way. It is written with a father's tenderness, and a novelist's empathy and style. Funny, touching and fascinating, it will allow parents to understand the extraordinary journey their child makes during the momentous first three years of life.All of our books are second hand, and while you may not get the exact copy shown in the picture, all of our books are in very good condition.
