Bücher von Judy Dunn

In this pathbreaking work Judy Dunn explores several aspects of the early process of social discovery: children's recognition of the feelings of others, their ability to interpret and anticipate the behavior and relationships of others, and their comprehension of the prohibitions and accepted practices of their world.

Examines such questions as individual differences in infant fretfulness, the emotional effects of mother's speedy response to her baby's cries, and the impact of strangers on infants in the second half of their first year.

Dunn and Kendrick demonstrate that the advent of a sibling can be a stimulus for real cognitive and emotional growth on the part of the older child. A sensitive and informative book, "Siblings" takes psychology into an area of family life and child development that has long received too little attention.
