    PRESCHOOL & SCHOOL-AGE

    A child's physical development is not as dramatic as it is during infancy, but the changes still are very apparent. Preschoolers can dress themselves, draw pictures, throw balls and run forward and backward. Language is developing at a very fast pace as they come into contact with the environment and others around them. Physical, social, emotional and intellectual skills occur best when the caregiver has apparent knowledge of children. This interactive DVD examines children at the age of three, four, five and school age. Learn how to create an atmosphere where children can have fun, learn new things and enhance their self-esteem. Numerous examples of activities are presented to help children cultivate positive self-talk, handle negative events and work individually and in groups.
