Lifespan Development, 3rd Edition

Lifespan Development is designed to help your students understand human growth and development across the lifespan. The contents of this text show that even though not all people are alike, they do go through similar stages of development. Young children learn to walk, talk, spell, jump, and tell jokes. Teens learn to become more independent. Adults take on more responsibilities for themselves and others. Throughout the lifespan, people continue to develop and change physically, cognitively, socially, and emotionally. The developmental theories of Erikson, Piaget, Vygotsky, and Kohlberg are highlighted. The text also includes strategies that promote lifespan health and wellness.

• A unit is dedicated to career paths in education and training and human services and Case Studies are included in every chapter to help students relate classroom learning to the real world.
• Special features throughout the text address cultural diversity, health, and safety.
• 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.
