In both its practical application of research and its contribution to the assessment of child development, this text provides essential reading for students and practitioners in nursing, health visiting, play work, youth work, early years education, teaching, social work and occupational therapy. This innovative and broad-ranging text is accessible and engaging, with case studies, tables, and references to relevant studies making links to professional practice throughout.

Taking into account the diversity of ways in which children develop – including considerations of gender, ethnicity, social background, disability and resilience – it presents developmental models for the years from birth to sixteen under each of the following themes: children’s rights and responsibilities relationships in the family relationships in day care, at school and with the peer group language and communication children and the media health and physical development mental health.
