Child, Family, School, Community: Socialization And Support

by Roberta M. Berns

Revealing and filled with professional insight, Robert M. Berns' best-selling book helps students understand the socialization process of children via the powerful conceptual framework of Urie Bronfenbrenner's Ecological Model of Human Development. Berns closely examines the interactive effects of family, childcare, school, peer groups, media, community, and societal factors (including culture, political ideology, economics, and technology) on the socialization of the child to vividly illustrate the concepts of the course and help students learn how the various aspects of a child's environment affect his or her development. Truly ideal for undergraduate students and anyone who works with children, this text underscores the immeasurable value in preparing the child with the ability to adapt to a changing world.

This is the textbook for one of my classes this semester, and it does a pretty thorough and comprehensive job explaining the socialization process for young children.

At last Berns book goes to Spectra... I know it's not a cheap book but it's already sold-out!!
such a good book that inspired by Bronfenbrenner's perspective... *I envy Berns coz she had the experience to sit in Bronfenbrenner's class*

I am sure this was a very innovative and relevant book when the first was published but it felt outdated.

This book was pretty informative. I read it for a class, not for leisure.
