Child Development and Education provides comprehensive coverage of child and adolescent development written specifically for educators. Written by a developmentalist and an educational psychologist, the text shows those who will teach and care for children and adolescents how to apply developmental research and theory to their everyday practice. 

The 7th Edition explores developmental phenomena and provides opportunities for readers to practice observations of and analyses of what children say, do, and create. This applied approach ensures that future educators can make informed decisions that meet children's and adolescents' needs. A new theme throughout the book focuses on educational practice that enhances and supports development.
