As a parent, you know that differences in children's learning styles and temperaments are a given. However, when any of these problem behaviors become the 'norm' for a child, a red flag should go up. If they affect a child's ability to be happy, relate to others, and go about his daily life, there may be a real problem. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eIs it a Big Problem, or a Little Problem?\u003c\/i\u003e will help you to determine: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e -The size of the problem \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e -How to manage problems on your own with practical tips and strategies \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e -When, if at all, to seek a professional evaluation and what to do in the meantime \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLearn when to worry, when not to worry, and what to do.

CHILD REARING \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMany exasperated parents have wondered whether their three year old needs to have his or her hearing checked. Developmental concerns are common, but it can be difficult to tell what behavior is a stage and what is cause for genuine concern. The authors, Anderson, Amy Egan, Amy Freedman, and Judi Greenberg-all speech, language, behavior, and occupational therapists at the Ivymount School's Center for Outreach and Education in Rockville, MD-divide the book into three sections, The Basics, Understanding Development, and Where Children Struggle. Within these, they illustrate specific concerns (e.g., She can hear, why doesn't she understand?), explore the range of normal, and examine signals that indicate a need for professional intervention. For little problems, the authors teach how to rework an environment, routine, or communication strategy to alleviate triggers and encourage mastery. Their strategies for reteaching crucial developmental milestones range from the simple (e.g., no more sippy cups; straws not only improve speech skills but have a calming effect) to the progressive. Disclaimers aside, this book is the equivalent of a valuable appointment with a specialist. Never using an alarmist tone, the authors strike a perfect balance between advocating for early intervention and appreciating the ups and downs of typical childhood behavior. Highly recommended for all libraries.\u003cb\u003e-Julianne J. Smith, Ypsilanti Dist.
