Except for their reproductive organs, there are no differences between boy and girl babies before or soon after birth : gender differences occur as a result of different experiences for boys and girls -- Part II.

It's harmful to preschoolers' psychological development if they make overnight visits to estranged parents -- 20. Toddlers drop food on the floor because they want to make their parents angry -- 21. It is important for parents to work with babies and teach them how to walk -- 22. It is a good thing for an infant or a toddler to have experience with many caregivers, not just one or two -- 23.

The time between birth and age 3 years is the most important period of development and learning in a person's life -- 27. Children need to develop basic trust and show it by their confidence in other people -- 28. If a child is able to complete a task with an adult present, he or she is also able to do it alone -- 29. Preschoolers who hold their breath when angry are trying to upset their parents and get their own way -- 30. Vaccines and heavy metals cause autism -- 31. Autism rates are rising rapidly, especially in certain parts of the country, so something must be happening to cause more cases of this serious developmental problem -- 32. Preschool children who lie are developing along dangerous lines and need to be corrected severely in order to stop this bad behavior -- 33. Preschoolers who try to bargain with their parents really want to manipulate and control adults, and they should not be allowed to negotiate -- 34. A young child can tell when someone is just teasing -- 35. Children with attachment disorders must be treated very sternly and differently from typically developing children : even in ways that are ordinarily considered abusive -- 36. Spanking should never be used to discipline a child because it is ineffective and caused children to model the aggression they experience -- Part IV. School-age children -- 37. Girls who get their first period early are also likely to mature quickly in other ways -- 38. Children have different learning styles, depending on whether they are left brained or right brained -- 39. It's healthy for children to be a little on the chubby side -- 40. Birth order is an important factor that determines children's intelligence and personality -- 41. When a child is mentally ill, any psychological treatment is better than no treatment -- 42. Bullying is a natural behavior for children, and there's nothing you can do to stop it -- 43. Sugar is a major cause of hyperactive behavior -- 44. Adopted children have many more social and emotional development problems than do nonadopted children -- 45. If a child is sexually molested, he or she will probably repress the memory -- Part V. Adolescents -- 46. Regular experience of share family meals is critical for children's academic and behavioral development -- 47. Children are more likely to become delinquent if their fathers are absent or uninvolved -- 48. Violent television programs and video games cause increased aggressive behavior -- 49.
