This ISBN is for the Pearson eText and may not include any media, website access codes, or print supplement.

Children and Their Development provides a solid, research-oriented overview of child-development science. Organized topically and in modules, this text focuses on research and theory while making the material accessible for students through effective pedagogy. It uses fundamental developmental issues as a foundation for integrating studies and for demonstrating how complementary research methods work together. It also demonstrates that the results of child-development research can be used to enhance the lives of children and their families.

The fifth Canadian edition of Children and Their Development has further improvements to the Canadian perspective, highlighting work by Canadian researchers and including more on the Canadian social and cultural perspectives. Demographic information and statistics, such as birth rates, have been revised where new information exists. There has also been an active attempt to include more information on Canada's Indigenous populations (First Nations, Métis, and Inuit peoples) and their particular situations, issues, and views.
