This is a New Zealand text on child development, with a strong emphasis on local conditions and context; the fourth edition has been completely revised, bringing in new theoretical concepts. The book looks at how and why children develop. Theories of development and learning are covered, along with the importance of early experience, intelligence and assessment, and the family. The development of social behaviour, gender roles, language and thinking are discussed; the question of mainstreaming is addressed in a chapter by Keith Ballard. This is an essential text for teachers in education and psychology, and used also by social workers, nurses, psychologists, family lawyers and police education officers. Parents also increasingly seek expert advice and information about their children's development.
