CHILDREN’S JOURNEYS explores the many paths children take as they develop through early childhood. This practical approach to child development introduces students to the science of development and then challenges them to think critically about how a child’s context impacts development and to apply development theories to the classroom. With personal anecdotes and plenty of humor, the author tells the true story of childhood—with its many peaks and valleys—and leads students to a greater understanding of how to improve the journey.
