The bond between parent and child is extremely important and needs to be fostered.

Your Child from Birth to Eight provides a supportive and practical guide to the physical, emotional, social and cognitive development of young children.

While children develop differently in accordance with their genetic inheritance and environment, Pam Linke, renowned social worker and early childhood expert, clearly defines the steps which help parents to know what milestones children can be expected to reach, at different ages and stages and how best to support their learning.

An invaluable resource for all parents and carers, Your Child from Birth to Eight encapsulates the wisdom and experience of other mums and dads, as well as social workers, health professionals, early childhood practitioners and teachers who engage regularly with children from birth to eight.

Pam Linke is a social worker with a specific interest in early childhood. In 2006, Pam was awarded the Order of Australia for her professional services in the field.
