Every child is born into a community, a society with a culture, in which he or she will live, grow, and develop. Cultures lead to differences in childrens development, but equally important, culture is an essential component of every childs psychological development. Child Development takes a chronological approach, from prenatal development to adolescence, in which social, cognitive, emotional, and physical aspects of development are interwoven. Author Martin J. Packer integrates cross-cultural examples from different parts of the world to illustrate how culture plays a constitutive role in childrens development. This book includes an in-depth discussion of human evolution, the history of language, and the human lifespan, as well as the theoretical perspectives of scientific research on childrens development.
