Check out the NEW EDITION of our textbook,

Child Development: Principles and Perspectives (2009)

at http://www.pearsonhighered.com/educator/academic/product/0,3110,0205494064,00.html.

Our topically-organized book combines streamlined coverage with an application-driven active learning system.  We encourage students to think about how they can promote positive child development by putting the science to work outside of the classroom.

Each chapter has been thoroughly updated from the 1st edition but keeps its 'user friendly' emphasis. We include numerous applications, including interviews with a real parent (or  child) and a real professional who in some way depends upon child development research.
