This textbook introduces the incredible journey we take from birth to adolescence. Covering some of the most significant aspects of becoming human - language, morality, play, empathy, creativity, learning, cooperation - it describes how these skills change, how children adapt to solve new challenges, and what makes you, you. Combining insights from psychology, anthropology, and evolution, it presents a fresh interdisciplinary approach to child development. Divided into three chronological sections - early years, middle childhood, and adolescence - this book takes a global tour of childhood, covering over 50 countries to reveal fascinating similarities and differences in the way we grow up. Complete with a full set of pedagogical features, including bulleted key points, space for recap and consolidation, a glossary of key terms, learning outcomes, chapter summaries and embedded media, it offers an accessible and engaging introduction to child development.
