The Science inside the Child

The story of what happens when we're growing up

Beschreibung

This accessible, engaging and informative book examines the different influences on child development, according to science. There is a lot of science about children, from new work in neuroscience and attachment, to evolutionary theory and genetics. This book brings it all together to see how the scientific picture compares with the everyday one we all have as parents, educators and carers.

Autor

Sara Meadows works in the Graduate School of Education at the University of Bristol. As a psychologist she uses the concepts and the methods of developmental psychology as a way of understanding what children are experiencing at home and in their other social settings and the ways in which they grow up as effective social actors. Much of her current research is with the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC), also known as the 'Children of the Nineties' study.
