Child Development: Principles and Perspectives, 2E shows students the power of developmental research in practice! The topically-organized Child Development, Second Edition combines streamlined coverage with an application-driven active learning system. Cook and Cook focus students on how they can promote positive child development by putting the science to work outside of the classroom. The approach recognizes that the majority of students enrolled in the child development course will likely interact in the future with children as educators, medical professionals, social workers, counselors, or as parents. For this reason, the authors punctuate each chapter with numerous applications, including interviews with a real parent (or child) and a real professional who in some way depends upon child development research. Child Development is supported by the new and improved MyDevelopmentLab, an exciting learning and assessment tool designed to increase student success in the classroom, and provide instructors with every resource needed to teach and administer their course. The latest version of MyDevelopmentLab features Virtual Child. This interactive simulation offers students the opportunity to act as a parent and raise a virtual child.

Child Development: Theories and Critical Perspectives provides an engaging and perceptive overview of both well-established and recent theories in child and adolescent psychology. This unique summary of traditional scientific perspectives alongside critical post-modern thinking will provide readers with a sense of the historical development of different schools of thought. The authors also place theories of child development in philosophical and cultural contexts, explore links between them, and consider the implications of theory for practice in the light of the latest thinking and developments in implementation and translational science. Early chapters cover mainstream theories such as those of Piaget, Skinner, Freud, Maccoby and Vygotsky, whilst later chapters present interesting lesser-known theorists such as Sergei Rubinstein, and more recent influential theorists such as Esther Thelen. The book also addresses lifespan perspectives and systems theory, and describes the latest thinking in areas ranging from evolutionary theory and epigenetics, to feminism, the voice of the child and Indigenous theories. The new edition of Child Development has been extensively revised to include considerable recent advances in the field. As with the previous edition, the book has been written with the student in mind, and includes a number of useful pedagogical features including further reading, discussion questions, activities, and websites of interest. Child Development: Theories and Critical Perspectives will be essential reading for students on advanced courses in developmental psychology, education, social work and social policy, and the lucid style will also make it accessible to readers with little or no background in psychology.
