Placing particular emphasis on context and culture, Child Development unpacks the fundamentals of the subject whilst spurring students to explore the forces behind change in children. Evaluating both theory and evidence, students will discern developmental cascades and understand the interdependencies of different domains and levels across time.
Contextualising core topics in development from infancy to adolescence, Child Development guides students to understand the field as both fully grounded in research and widely applied in everyday life.

Placing particular emphasis on the influence of context and culture, Child Development unpacks the fundamentals of the subject whilst spurring the reader to explore and understand the many forces behind change in children. With a driving motivation to discover how we can improve the lives of children and families around the world, the authors evaluate the theory and evidence of child development through a critical lens to discern developmental cascades, consequently highlighting the interdependencies among different domains and levels, within and across time.
