Ending the Invisible Neglect of America's Infants
Paperback
Publication Date: 30/05/2013
For the last forty years, J. Ronald Lally has worked with state and federal agencies to improve services for infants and toddlers in the United States and abroad. In this new book, Lally paints a stark picture of how our babies have been forced to shoulder the fallout of massive societal changes over the past 60 years, changes that have resulted in less access to their parents, longer time spent in child care, and substandard child care services.
