Rufus Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Hi I am looking for some good books to read relating to a few areas 1. Gender differences between types of play. 2. Speaking and listening development and language acquisition. 3. Different stages of child development. I have realised that although I know a fair bit about child development It wouldn't do me any harm to swat up a bit more, especially since it also interests me a great deal. However I am not a big fan of text book style books and often find myself switching off if it is too wordy! Can anyone reccommend any good, non boring books?
