This book is a comprehensive guide to child development from birth to 16 years. Assuming no prior knowledge of the subject, it covers all perspectives on child development, including physical, cognitive, moral, and behavioral aspects. It references important figures such as Piaget, Freud, and Bowlby, as well as the work of more contemporary theorists. With case studies for practical understanding and illustrations that support the key points, this book is the only guide you will need.
