The Young Child: Development from Prebirth Through Age Eight

by

The Young Child: Development from Prebirth Through Age Eight Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Unlike other child development texts, this text is devoted specifically to development from prebirth through age eight

For child development courses that cover prebirth through age eight, this widely used text discusses major development theories as they relate to physical, social and emotional, and cognitive domains.  The book contains extensive applications for those who teach and work with young children, making it particularly appropriate for early childhood education programs.

 

The fifth edition includes:

 

A thorough updating of topics including: standards for early childhood programs, the mandates of IDEA, developmental theories, changing demographics, assessments, child care practices and bullying   

  • Ensures students the benefit of the most current scholarship and thinking in the field.  See pages 7, 100, 105, and 366 for examples.

Extensive concrete applications and real-life examples

  • Examples help students to better understand the content of child development and also to better see the practical applications of each developmental concept. 
  • Two case studies are carried throughout the book so that, while reading the book, students actually get to watch two children grow up. See pages 60, 61, 113, and 280 for examples.
  • “Role of the Early Childhood Professional” features at the end of most chapters prepare students to work effectively with young children using developmentally appropriate practices See pages 90, 153, 245, 377, and 507 for examples.

Brain development and the neuro-biological perspective

  • Provides students with the latest information on this ever increasingly important area of research and helps students come to a more complete understanding of how children develop and how their interactions in child care and early education environments impact both their immediate and long-term development. See pages 119 and 353 for examples.
