Emerging: Child Development in the First Three Years 2nd Edition by Dianne Nixon/Katy Gould
Quick Navigation

Overview

Emerging: Child Development in the First Three Years was written for students of child development and care, for those who work with children in the first three years of life, and for anyone who would like to know more about what the researchers and theorists have to tell us about this age group.

The authors have taken a practical approach to the study of child development, describing the child at each year of life, and discussing their characteristics within the frameworks of various theories and research findings. Pointers are made to caregiving practices that meet the needs of children in the first three years of life.

The needs of both home-based and centre-based carers are addressed through extending their knowledge of this exciting time in children’s development.
