Child development students and teachers alike will find this new edition of Children: The Early Years inviting! The open, colorful new design contains more than 100 new photos and charts. Other new features include chapter-opening case studies, Ties with Family and Community activities, a running glossary, and a new appendix on indoor dangers for young children. To keep this authoritative text current, the content has been thoroughly revised. Even with all these changes, Children The Early Years retains its focus on guiding children's development and meeting developmental needs from the prenatal stage through the school-age years.
