This thought-provoking volume defines child abuse and neglect as a public health crisis, both in terms of injuries and mental health problems and as a link to poverty and other negative social outcomes. The author identifies key factors contributing to this situation—in particular juvenile ageism, the pervasive othering of children and youth—coupled with the assumption of parental competence until severe abuse or neglect proves otherwise.

Abstract: This thought-provoking volume defines child abuse and neglect as a public health crisis, both in terms of injuries and mental health problems and as a link to poverty and other negative social outcomes. The author identifies key factors contributing to this situation—in particular juvenile ageism, the pervasive othering of children and youth—coupled with the assumption of parental competence until severe abuse or neglect proves otherwise. The book’s practical answers to these complex issues involve recognizing and balancing the rights of parents and children, and responding to the diverse needs of new, competent, and dysfunctional families. Dealing with Child Abuse and Neglect as Public Health Problems should engage professionals in the public health, healthcare, and social services sectors. It should also attract parents in struggling families as well as other laypersons, such as policymakers and child advocates, interested in improving current social conditions.

Contents: Introduction -- How Are Children in the United States Doing? -- Child Abuse and Neglect in the United States -- Child Sexual Abuse -- Juvenile Ageism -- Dynamics of Juvenile Ageism -- Categories of Juvenile Ageism -- The Impact of Juvenile Ageism on Individuals -- The Devaluation of Parenthood -- The Rights and Needs of Newborn Babies and Young Children -- The Rights of Parents -- Overcoming Our Crisis-Recoil Response -- The Parent-Society Contract -- What Should We Do? -- Barriers to Change and Hope for the Future.

Abstract: Early childhood development refers to the skills that children acquire within their first five years of life, which lay the foundation for future learning. Children need care and support to stimulate their growth and healthy development. The stimulation of language, understanding, personal, social and motor skills of the child are important at an early age and it is one of the primary physicians' responsibilities to give proper advice to parents on how to promote their children's physical and mental development. Enhancing Early Child Development: A Handbook for Clinicians is a quick reference guide for pediatricians, clinicians, and pediatric nurse practitioners that aims at promoting early stimulation and intervention for optimizing development of normal children as well as children with cerebral palsy and autism. Designed to be used in daily practice, this book will provide counsel for clinicians, parents and caregivers and advise them on the appropriate methods to enhance their child's development at different ages based on their health condition. In addition, Enhancing Early Child Development: A Handbook for Clinicians, incorporates a summary of the manual entitled "Counsel the Family on Care for Child Development" developed by UNICEF and WHO, which addresses child development in low resource countries.

Contents: Enhancing childhood development in a normal child -- Enhancing childhood development in children with autism -- Enhancing childhood development in children with cerebral palsy and other disorders -- Enhancing childhood development in children with behavioral and psychological disorders -- Nutrition for better development -- Summary of the "Care for Childhood Development" program (UNICEF/WHO) -- Index.
