Children: A Chronological Approach, Canadian Edition, 6th edition

Children: A Chronological Approach is designed to introduce you to the world of the developing child from initial gestation through adolescence. This is a broad period of development that sees stretches of rapid and slower change across many domains. This text is a science-based approach to understanding developmental change in children and adolescents from a chronological perspective. The text covers three main areas - physical, cognitive, and psychosocial change - in infancy, preschool, school age, and adolescent periods. In addition, the text includes information about development prior to birth as well as a basic introduction to theory and research in the field of developmental psychology.

The authentic Canadian context of the book, as well as the chronological unfolding of developmental events, will help your students to grasp child and adolescent development concepts in a way that is culturally meaningful and conceptually accessible to them.
