Description

This comprehensive textbook introduces social science students to the latest research in neuroscience and its implications for understanding child development. Covering the 0-18+ age range, it critically analyses the relationship between children's thoughts, behaviours, and feelings and their developing brains.

The book explores how brain structure influences social and cultural issues, including a new section on emotional development in adolescence. It provides case studies showing how brain science is changing practice, as well as additional resources to support students and practitioners working with children.
