Overview

"As psychologists and teacher educators, we have taught child and adolescent development for many years. Our primary intention has been to help students translate developmental concepts into practical implications in their own teaching. In past years, the child development textbooks available to our students were thorough in their descriptions of theory and research but limited in concrete suggestions for working with infants, children, and adolescents. With this book, now in its seventh edition, we bridge the gap between theory and practice. We draw from innumerable theoretical concepts; research studies conducted around the world; and our own experiences as parents, teachers, psychologists, and researchers to identify strategies for promoting young peoples physical, cognitive, and social-emotional growth. As in the previous editions, this book focuses on childhood and the adolescent years and derives applications that are primarily educational in focus. Several features of the book make it different from other textbooks about childConcepts and the multitude of exercises are organized within sections devoted to specific learning objectives. For each objective, readers can engage with several exercises that solidify conceptual understandings and practical knowledge. Readers can review childrens artwork and essays, observe childrens actions and statements in video clips, and check their comprehension at the end of each section, with explanations immediately accessible to confirm expectations and correct misconceptions"--
