Charlesworth (child and family studies, Weber State U.) offers a text for trainees and practicing teachers in pre-kindergarten, kindergarten, and primary grades, as well as social service professionals, special educators, and others, that introduces child development in the context of family, school, and culture, and shows how to work with young children in a way that corresponds to their developmental level. Theories, methods, and elements of learning are followed by chapters from the prenatal period to primary grades focusing on physical/motor and health, cognitive, and affective development. This edition reorganizes chapters, deletes section introductions and two chapters, and places advocacy material on the companion website. It adds new boxes and more information on technology, and updates information on statistics and demographics; learning and technology; technology and special needs; and genetics and environment. Other new information included concerns the influence of culture on infants; health and nutrition; safety and injury; toddler motor development, cultural factors, empathy, and mother-child conflict; brain and cognition; IQ scores and intelligence; intentional teaching, culture, and language; English language learners; emotion regulation; rough and tumble play and physical and motor development; technology, school success, and emergent curriculum; and inclusion, the sexualization of girls, and prosocial classrooms. Some organizational changes have been made, including the addition of chapter summaries. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
