The seventh edition of this popular book supports the authors' belief that guidance is more than getting children to do what you want them to do now; it is helping them to become everything they can become for all of their tomorrows. The book provides an overview, followed by discussion of core concepts, strategies for applying those concepts, and, finally, the broader perspective of professionalism and human resource development. Its approach focuses on the need to consider a child's developmental level as well as family and cultural context when planning environments and activities for young children. Unlike others in the field, it offers concrete suggestions on how to guide children while they are involved in specific activities such as playing, eating, napping, etc. For teachers and parents of young children.

In 2001, letters contaminated with anthrax resulted in 23 cases of the disease, 5 deaths, and the contamination of numerous U.S. Postal Service facilities, including the Southern CT Processing and Dist. Center in Wallingford, CT. This report addresses whether: the Postal Service followed applicable guidelines and requirements for informing employees at the facility about the contamination; and lessons can be learned from the response to the facility's contamination. To help prevent a reoccurrence of communication problems, this report recommends that the Postal Service, OSHA, GSA, and the Nat. Response Team work together to revise their existing reg's. to require prompt communication of available test results, including quantitative results, to workers and others.
