Child Development in Practice

Designed for ECS/EY students, this book simplifies complex child development concepts with the latest research, real-world examples, and inclusive perspectives, bridging theory and practice.
This is the ideal textbook for anyone studying child development on an early years or early childhood degree, or education and psychology courses with a child development component.

Packed full of case studies and reflective questions that show how psychological concepts and theories influence the real world, it explores key topics including physical and emotional development, neurodivergence, attachment and the role of educational neuroscience.

Equipping you with the knowledge to excel on your course and empowering you for work in educational settings, it makes complex concepts accessible and supports inclusive learning by incorporating non-Western perspectives and diverse research, giving you an understanding of the interconnected ways children grow, learn and experience the world.
