The Whole Child, 10/e , written in a warm and engaging style by Patricia Weissman and Joanne Hendrick,is a complete, practical, and hands-on book that uses a developmental domain approach to educate readers about young children from infancy through age 8. The authors believe that physical and emotional health are fundamental to the well-being of children and provide practical methods and materials that address the entire individual, not just curriculum topics. This text focuses on the "whole child" and what he/she needs from the learning environment in order to thrive. It pictures the child as being made up of "selves" - emotional, social, physical, creative, and cognitive...examines each of those selves in turn in separate chapters...and recommends methods and materials for enhancing growth in each area. This popular text is unique in that it combines a practical, realistic approach with a firm foundation in pertinent research topics. With an emphasis on emergent curriculum, intentional teaching, and the Reggio approach, students learn about quality teaching in a way that is accessible and encouraging to the novice teacher and presented to the reader in such a way that encourages linkage between theory and practice. Review: great textbook - I bought this as a textbook for a college class. This book is an easy read. Lots of pictures, tables, and charts. Makes it nice to follow, not a dull textbook at all. I would highly recommend it! Review: Affordable fast - I loved being able to rent this book & have paid return. Thank you

New book damaged
Books are not cheap, and as a full time student my books cost well over $500 a semester. This book costed over $100. Because I bought new I would expect it to be in that condition but this book was not. It was wrapped in plastic with the right top corner folded. Please see pictures. Now the corner is bent.
