From the Back Cover

Prepare professionals to meet the unique developmental needs of children from a wide variety of backgrounds.

A primary goal of early childhood education today is to provide the skills, understanding, and sensitivity that children need in a pluralistic society. Early Childhood Development: A Multicultural Perspective is designed to assist professionals in meeting that goal by providing a culturally sensitive account of developmental processes. It examines the physical, social, emotional, linguistic, and intellectual characteristics of children of diverse cultural backgrounds within and outside the United States. Additionally, it discusses typical as well as atypical development in children from birth through age 8. Hands-on, practical applications, real-world stories, and professional practice suggestions throughout the book bring the material to life.

 

The Seventh Edition includes an extended examination of dual-language learners; new Applying Chapter Ideas features and learning objectives; recent research in neuroscience; more than 400 new research studies and articles on early childhood development; and an increased emphasis on newer or more culturally inclusive theories of development.
