Child Development: Principles and Perspectives

by Joan Littlefield Cook, Greg Cook

The perfect recipe for student success...

Child Development: Principles and Perspectives blends the most important ingredients necessary for students to succeed in the child development course. This topically organized book uses a student-friendly writing style, intuitive design, and an unparalleled active learning system to help students critically explore the many perspectives on child development.

The text encourages students to take an active role in their learning and to think about children's development from a variety of perspectives. Through interviews, cases, and vignettes, students gain a broad understanding of the viewpoints of people who work with, live with, and care for children, bringing this dynamic field to life! From the start of each chapter, students actively engage in reading, questioning, and connecting information to their everyday lives and the lives of others. The text's features uniquely work together as an integrated system to optimize student learning and memory.

The text is further strengthened by MyPsychLab, a powerful, interactive program which utilizes an electronic version of the text and a host of multimedia assets, all housed in one convenient online location.
