Stage by Stage Workbooks

You will probably have heard of or read in Baby rearing books, about Ages and Stages of children's development.

Children, with the right stimulation and assuming that they don't have medical disorders and impairments, should be able to perform a range of Milestones in particular measurable order. This allow us to be able to talk about what we can call Normal Development. We are then able to set out the particular Milestones that a so called Normal child could achieve in certain age ranges such as 0-6 months or 12-15 months.

Obviously we are all different. Because our child is unique and our form of stimulation will be unlike that of another parent or carer, the types of Milestones and the rate at which our child will display them will be different from other children. This means that our 6 month old child could be sitting up unaided for instance while another of similar age might have to be surronded with cushions for support.

A futher complication is that a parent may be providing more stimulation in one Domain at the expense of others e.g. the child who gets lots of rough and tumble stimulation but little or no story telling or being read to, will quickly become dominant in Gross Motor and be experiencing considerable Developmental Skills Tension. Obviously we want to help you the parents get this Developmental Skills Tension under control.

Thus the other way of looking at our child, is to consider them as an unique little person and see eveything in Developmental Stages.

The Developmental Skills Tension© workbooks in this area are Stage by Stage. To see where you should start with your child go to a particular Stage and click on "LEARN MOORE". If you think the description fits your child then that is the first workbook you need to get. If you think your child is ahead of that level do the same thing for the next Stage.

The great thing is that if you have started on a workbook that is little too advanced for your child in one or more of the Domains, you only have to go back to an earlier Stage.

Some parents, particularly those who plan on having more children, have decided to purchase all five basic workbooks.

To lighten your expense load if you do purchase all five of the workbooks in one go, we will add, at no extra cost to you, the two additional ones entiled:

1) The advanced child
2) The very advanced child
