“Touchpoints” are the universal spurts of development and the trying periods of regression that accompany them throughout childhood. Dr. Brazelton uses them as windows to help parents understand their child’s behavior and prevent future problems.

Every chapter covers: feeding, crying, temperament, social learning, stranger awareness, discipline, sleeping, learning, emotions, independence, self-image, sexuality, communication, motor skills, attachment, play, self-esteem and toilet training.
