The Developing Child

by Helen Bee

Combining research and practice, this text creates a comprehensive look at a child's development, from conception through adolescence. A topical organization is featured which reinforces core concepts and research that is balanced with applications centred around real-life situations. Also included is a chapter which reviews atypical development; helpful boxes that amplify chapter material; and a summary chapter which reviews child development by age rather than by topic. The seventh edition emphasizes the role of culture in development, thereby offering a wide-ranging, contemporary assessment of child development.

This was a book for my Child psych class. I wasn't impressed with the info in it or lack of info.
Most research wasn't diverse and it felt like reading a really long boring essay of common sense findings.
I wish there was more to it.
Overall, it was okay.

This book had a lot of information in it. It covered some topics well and others not so much. It is a good guide, but does not provide much detail on some things. The charts and pictures are very helpful. It's a very expensive book and I feel like I could have got the same information from other books that are a lot cheaper.

As a reference guide it's great because it covers a little bit of everything, I particularly enjoyed their brief chapter synopsis, they basically cover the important themes of the chapter.Pro-tip for students, who can't read it all.
