Dixon and Steins Encounters with Children: Pediatric Behavior and Development

Building on the legacy of Drs. Suzanne D. Dixon and Martin T. Stein, Dixon and Stein’s Encounters with Children, 5th Edition, offers a unique, how-to approach to understanding the developmental stages of childhood, providing practical strategies for today’s clinicians who interact with children and families. Unlike pathology-focused pediatrics texts, this compact volume examines typical child development and offers expert guidance on childhood stages, developmental challenges, family wellbeing, and social determinants of health. From the neonatal visit and newborn exam through the late adolescent years, this highly regarded reference provides thorough, evidence-based guidance with an emphasis on relationships as central to a child’s wellbeing. Content is aligned with the well-child visit schedule, making it highly relevant to new and experienced clinicians alike. Now under the expert guidance of new editors, Drs.
