Partners for a Healthy Baby - Home Visiting Curriculum Manual for Families: Baby's Months 13-17

This fourth curriculum in the Partners for a Healthy Baby series incorporates neurodevelopment research, infant mental health, and evidence-based best practices during later infancy.

Practical applications of research are integrated throughout the curriculum in strategies families can use for promoting warm nurturing relationships, making changes toward healthier lifestyles, recognizing early warning signs of health and developmental problems, and supporting and enriching their child's development.

The handouts summarize critical points on topics including supporting early language and literacy development, providing environments that support independent movement, choosing quality child care, providing appropriate guidance for young children, and the importance of routines for young children, dealing with temper tantrums and help visitors introduce topics that may otherwise be awkward to broach.

Includes one set of handouts (inside the curriculum manual). Additional handouts are available.
