Synopses & Reviews
Available as a three volume CD set, Observing Children and Adolescents captures developmental milestones and stages through the use of videos, guided questions and activities. Organized topically, videos are divided into five developmental stages (infancy, early childhood, middle childhood, early adolescence, and late adolescence) and cover a variety of topics such as: environments, physical activity, cognitive development, memory, intelligence, language, literacy, emotional development, intrinsic motivation, families, and friendship. Questions prompting observation, reflection and application accompany each video segment and guide users to a deeper understanding of development.
Synopsis
A supplement for courses in Child and Adolescent Development, Early Childhood Development, and Observation courses.
This 3 volume CD set was created to help students "see" the development of children with whom they work while guiding them through activities that help them develop a discerning "eye" for the developmental nuances of children's behavior. Topically organized, these CDs can be used to supplement any development text or course, or any educational psychology course where observation and development are a significant focus.
