| Summary |
This handbook for home visitors provides functional, field-tested guidance techniques for working with parents and children. Ideal for both practicing professionals and students in training, it offers techniques for enhancing children's development in conjunction with educating and supporting families. Firsthand accounts of actual home visits complement enlightening discussions of issues such as how to work with families from a variety of cultural backgrounds, how to teach parents about their children's development, what to do when parents or children are unresponsive or unwilling to cooperate, and how to use personal strengths to reinforce the parent-home visitor relationship. Written from a multidisciplinary perspective and incorporating more than 20 years of experience and clinical research, this essential book is a daily-use reference for anyone involved with home visiting, including educators, nurses, social workers, and therapists |
