Thursday's Child

If you have ever stared into an infant's innocent eyes and wondered what was going on in that tiny mind, then this is the book for you. Very few people have memories of being an infant and even fewer have put those memories to paper. Learn how small children can understand situations before they have any verbal skills and why small children keep secrets from their parents. This book is a 'must read' for every parent, everyone who studies the early development of the infant and young child, and for all who work in child social services. Travel with a child through events leading to World War II and through the blitz of London to experience the fears of war and its devastating effects on the child who has little comprehension and no control over adult situations. This book comes at a time when each one of us has to open our mind to what is happening to children across the globe and to the lessons we are imparting to future adults.
