Product Description

Edition after edition, Kathleen Stassen Berger’s The Developing Person Through Childhood and Adolescence re-emerges as the ideal textbook for the chronologically-organized development course—a perennial bestseller that always provides an authoritative portrait of the field, carefully crafted learning tools, and a narrative style and emphasis on cultural contexts that make the material relevant to its broad student audience.  The new edition continues that tradition, incorporating the latest research, while providing deeper consideration of the impact of diversity on development, and a new generation of media tools.

Customer Reviews

Excellent tool for instructors, challenging for students.4
I have used this textbook for Child Development 1 courses and I have found the textbook to be quite thorough and extensive in its coverage of development. I also like the way the author has grouped different developmental areas together so that the text uses a more system dynamics approach to development. For the student, however, care should be taken to review key terms and content matter areas for understanding or comprehension as the text can be daunting to beginning college students. The study guide is most helpful and if you can find the instructor's guide, it is extremely helpful. It provides a list of accompanying activities, resources and a wealth of supplemental information.

Straight to the point info. Good, heavy understandable chapters5
