Description
Child Psychology: A Very Short Introduction by Usha C. Goswami provides an authoritative guide to modern child psychology from birth to early adolescence. This book explores how children develop self-understanding through secure attachments, and how they learn about the physical, biological, and social worlds. It also examines the role of environments such as home, school, and wider society in shaping their development. Goswami introduces key theories in child psychology, explaining why children develop as they do and how society can optimize their development during the adolescent years.
