Child Development

Offering a practical guide to child development, this book takes the exciting and unique approach of featuring the childhood of a renowned individual in each chapter, e.g., Rachel Carson, Bill Clinton, Carly Simon, Tiger Woods, the Dalai Lama, Stephen King, Stephen Speilberg, among others. Using famous young lives, this book examines all aspects of child development, from reproduction through adolescence, and explores how beliefs, attitudes, gender roles, parenting styles, sibling relationships, role expectations, among other aspects of child development, differ cross-culturally. It is ideal for parents and caregivers who must handle the daily aspects of child rearing.
