Child Development: Early Stages Through Adolescence, 10th Edition

Child Development: Early Stages Through Adolescence explores the many stages of growth and development that children experience from the prenatal stage through adolescence. Through an in-depth, comprehensive study of children's physical, intellectual, social, and emotional development, students will learn positive ways to care for children and meet their needs during these formative early years. Career information is presented about various child-related occupations, identifying the necessary skills, on-the-job duties, and education requirements needed for achieving success in a child-related career. Developmental Milestone and Developmental Delay charts explain the different milestones children accomplish by certain ages to reinforce what to expect developmentally at each stage of the child's life. Brain studies, 21st Century learning, and mental health risk factors are explored in depth to present current research findings in child development.

• The works of major child development theorists, such as Erikson, Piaget, Vygotsky, Gardner, and Kohlberg are featured throughout the text. These examples of renowned work provide important information needed when working with young children.
• Mental Health Advisories provide information about risk factors, such as toxic stress, to raise awareness of understanding about factors that can contribute to mental health problems throughout life.
• Brand New Video Library showcases authentic experiences of children in the classroom and at play. These videos, alongside reading and provided activities, questions, and discussions related to the video allow instructor to show how children interact with each other and with adults. 
• Now available in addition to the Online Learning Suite, G-W Ignite offers auto-graded practice aligned to course learning outcomes so teachers can easily track student mastery of key concepts. Ask your Educational Consultant about upgrading to G-W Ignite for a full curriculum solution online.
