Product Description

The Second Edition of An Introduction to Child Development has been fully updated to provide a comprehensive survey of the main areas of child development, from infancy through to adolescence.

Equipping students with an appreciation of critical issues in the field and an understanding of empirical research that bears on the study of children, the text provides balanced coverage of topics and theoretical perspectives that represent both classic and cutting edge work in child development.

In terms of new content, it now covers more on the biological foundations of development, plus new chapters on moral development and applied developmental psychology.

The Second Edition includes the following features:

- learning points

- section & chapter summaries,

- end-of-chapter glossaries

- suggestions for further reading

- sample multiple choice questions

- sidebars featuring in depth discussions of key research findings or points of debate within the field of child development.

The text comes with a dedicated website with resources for both students and instructors.

Excellent for the early stages of child developent 20 Jun 2005

By Nick

Format:Paperback

As a student studying studying education, this book was really helpful to me, its really nice and easy to read, and there is a great index thats really helpful if you just need to know about one specific area of development. This book goes into great detail about the early stages of a childs development, and its written in a very simplistic manner, and well presented making it very accessible. The only problem with the book i found is that the author only really talks about the developemt of children up to the ages of about 5/6, so if at any time you are working with children in Key Stage 2 (7-11), its not awfully helpful. Apart from that i would highly reccomend this book for anyone going on to an education studies course or child psychology.
