From the Back Cover
While most texts touch lightly on families, Sailor's text provides in-depth readable coverage of diverse family forms, as well as cultural differences, early care and education, schooling, the media, community services, and social policies affecting the development of children.
Features:
- Critical thinking questions at the end of each chapter help students become actively involved in their learning.
- Success stories, model projects, and quotations from well-known people motivate and inform the reader.
- Coverage of issues of gender, race/ethnicity, family form, and socioeconomic class give the book a broad perspective.
- Unique coverage of the roots and effects of violence and violence prevention, as well as the No Child Left Behind legislation keep readers up to date on the most current issues effecting children today.
“This well-balanced approach to guiding children from diverse family backgrounds merges a narrative style with solid research. The author's extensive travels and involvement with international groups give depth to her observations and conclusions.”
Professor Dorothy W. Hewes
San Diego State University
“The material on fathers is very good and so is the material on the types of parenting...Good coverage of what I consider to be the key aspects of 'schooling issues' today. I was also impressed with the inclusion of multiple intelligences and learning styles.”
Professor Eileen Donahue Britain
Truman College
“...Growing Up Healthy is truly a text written for the times. It explores various cultural, economical and societal issues that are detrimental to the family/school relationship in a realistic and current way.”
Professor Christine Osgood
Mesa Community College
