3 editions published in 1967 in English and held by 1,227 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

This essay deals with the necessity of explaining death to children, and offers guidelines as to how parents can do this. It points out that ignoring the child's need to confront the issue of death can only be harmful, depriving him of the opportunity to share his grief. The author suggests that parents be honest with their children about death, be receptive to the child's feelings and bewilderment, and encourage the child to verbalize his fantasies and fears. (Ng)

School readiness; behavior tests used at the Gesell Institute by Gesell Institute of Child Development( Book )

26 editions published between 1964 and 1978 in English and Undetermined and held by 1,007 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

This combined text and manual presents the basic educational viewpoint of the Gesell Institute, that children should be entered in school (and consequently grouped and promoted) on the basis of their developmental or behavioral age, not on the basis of their chronological age or iq. The introduction describes the research in which the Institute studied its theory. The main part of the book depicts the various aspects of the Institute's developmental test, describing its administration, evaluating the results, and defining its use in determining school readiness. Also, the results are used to demonstrate the concept of the existence of a specific age, such as 7-year-oldness. A section is devoted to parents, teachers, and administrators to help them understand the function of the testing and how it can help the child. A bibliography and several appendixes are included.
