feel and learn, but how
do you apply that research in your every day life? Talaris offers “Research
Spotlights” to help. Leading
research studies on social and emotional development have been gathered
and merged into easy-to-read and interesting summaries. Learn about the
amazing capabilities of babies and children through age 5 and learn how
