Understanding Child Development, 6E introduces the unique qualities of the young child as distinguished from older children and demonstrates how to work with young children in ways that correspond with their developmental level and social and cultural environment. For in-service teachers, the text offers an opportunity to evaluate their views of young children and compare them with the views presented in the text. The author has related critical social and cultural factors to young children's development, and has presented factors relevant to working with children with special needs throughout the text. Many real-life examples and anecdotes are included in this reader-friendly text in order to make theory and research come alive. Boxed problems for reflection provide for further learning and discussion opportunities. Activities, reference lists, Internet resources and review questions, as well as explanatory charts and full-color photographs, are exceptional complements to the material presented.
