Forest Books: Gwyneth Doherty-Sneddon Children's Unspoken Language

This book follows the development of young children from birth to late primary school age. It takes an in-depth look at four of the channels of non-verbal communication - hand gesture, facial expression, eye gaze and touch and shows how parents and other adults have the potential to facilitate a child's social and intellectual growth through acknowledging and responding to his unspoken language. It uses jargon-free language and is invaluable reading for parents and professionals alike. Paperback 239 pages 2003
