- Summary:
- The first three years of life play a crucial role in setting the stage for later adjustment and success. For children with disabilities, children at risk, and even healthy infants and toddlers born into well-functioning families, support and early intervention can foster optimal growth and development.

The volume is filled with practical suggestions for building positive family relationships, cultivating parental knowledge and understanding of child development, and enhancing family support systems.
