As infants become toddlers, their expanding sense of self, growing motor, language, and cognitive skills provide opportunities for learning more about the world around them. This book is a valuable resource for understanding and facilitating young children's development of healthy sense of self, positive cultural identity, effective social relationships, and feelings of connectedness.
