4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent tool for instructors, challenging for students., July 10, 2000
By Tamar Andrews (California) - See all my reviews
I have used this textbook for Child Development 1 courses and I have found the textbook to be quite thorough and extensive in its coverage of development. I also like the way the author has grouped different developmental areas together so that the text uses a more system dynamics approach to development. For the student, however, care should be taken to review key terms and content matter areas for understanding or comprehension as the text can be daunting to beginning college students. The study guide is most helpful and if you can find the instructor's guide, it is extremely helpful. It provides a list of accompanying activities, resources and a wealth of supplemental information.
