CHILD AND ADOLESCENT DEVELOPMENT, Second Edition, is a practical guide to the developing child that covers conception through the end of adolescence.
The author’s reader-friendly voice brings the story of development to life with both cross-cultural examples and personal stories from his children, students, and clients.
The text encourages students to use current research to think critically about key developmental theories and practices to discern what nutritional, physical, parental, educational, societal, and other factors will lead to optimal physical, cognitive, and psychosocial outcomes for the next generation of children.
