Chris was looking at the pictures in the family photo album. He saw photos of his daughter Ally when she was an infant and started lifting herself on her arms and legs. About a month later, she began crawling, and then stood up while holding on to furniture. Now Ally moves about the room by "cruising"— walking while touching furniture.

Luke is helping his younger brother Drew learn the alphabet. Drew seems to be catching on very quickly. Yesterday, he called out some of the letters on a store sign as he and Luke walked down the street. Luke knows that soon Drew will be able to point out a few simple words and not long after that he will be reading sentences.

Sam was not very good at kickball. He was smaller than other children his age and not as strong. When he failed to kick the ball well, he often lost interest and left the game. He preferred to sit quietly with a book instead of playing outside. Soon, his reading skills surpassed those of the other children in his class.

Erin and her family spent the summer visiting relatives in Toronto. Erin helped the parents by watching her sister Michelle and cousin Brian, both two years old.

Back

In school, Michael did poorly on tests and was seldom able to answer the teacher's question. Other children teased him and called him names. As a result, he was shy and had little selfconfi dence. He recently started wearing glasses and, since he can see the board more clearly, is doing better in school. He feels more positive about himself and is now getting along better with the other children.

Areas are interrelated.

Back

Emma, Rachel, and Juan all attend the same child care center. Emma is slightly shorter than the other two. She enjoys being with others and plays well with others. Rachel is the tallest and most coordinated. She tends to stay near the center's workers and spends little time with the children. Juan is of average size. He plays quietly by himself although he joins in group activities when they are scheduled.
