Section 2 focuses on the importance of mental health and shows the ways parents can help the child have a good outlook on himself and others. A third section is concerned with the activities of daily living and suggests ways in which the parent can help a child develop skills in this area. Section 4 gives advice on social behaviors, while Section 5 discusses human sexuality and sex education. A final section offers guidelines on safety. (SBH)
