• Practice applying critical thinking skills. Vivid cases--What Would You Do--open chapters by asking critical thinking questions that encourage readers to situate theory into practice. Chapters close with responses to these questions from professionals who work with children--What Would They Do.  (See pages 28 and 70 for an example.)
• Learn about the impact of social policy decisions on children's development. Policy boxes look at the implications of research in child and adolescent development for local or national policies and practices, using examples from around the world and comparing policies when appropriate. (See pages 60 and 107 for examples.)
• Understand diversity's influences on development. Relating to Every Child synthesizes global research, and both illustrates and celebrates universality and diversity in child development.  (See pages 65 and 104 for examples.)  
• Think critically about import development issues. Point/Counterpoint features present empirically supported but opposing viewpoints on a variety of contemporary and classic developmental issues.  (See pages 62 and 87 for examples.)
