Publisher's Synopsis
This is the instructor's manual to accompany the seventh edition of "The Developing Child". The accompanying text combines research and practice to create a comprehensive look at a child's development, from conception through adolescence. A topical organization 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.
