Encourage yourself to help your child!! April 3, 2001

This is a useful resource for carers of a child with Down Syndrome from infancy upwards. It not only deals with the prerequisites to necessary life skills but also the more detailed development of those skills themselves. The author, having had a child with Down Syndrome herself, has obvious awareness of how hard it is, for example, to enable floppy fingers to grasp and successfully use a pair of scissors. The chapters contain both the background information vital in understanding the tasks to be developed as well as ideas and tips on helping the child to attain them. The title may lead the reader to think that the contents would only apply to an older child but actually the book has lots of suggestions on how to help even a baby to start developing the building blocks that will enable success at later more complex tasks. The suggestions given are simple and manageable, they do not require hours of endless tuition but rather give a method for helping the child manage their normal meaningful day to day tasks. The book is informative, well presented, easy to read and realistic in its suggestions. My only criticism is that I felt that it could have contained more ideas and explanations, especially as my child has already past the baby stage.
