This book draws on numerous theoretical perspectives, research studies conducted around the world, and our own experiences as parents, teachers, psychologists and researchers to identify strategies for promoting young people’s physical, cognitive and social-emotional growth.
The book focuses on childhood and the adolescent years, but with particular attention to early childhood, and draws implications that are primarily educational in focus. We have deliberately highlighted contemporary Australian and New Zealand research and reflected local educational structures, philosophies and controversies. We have also addressed children’s growth in diverse settings by systematically expanding coverage of children’s distinct experiences in different cultures, ethnicities and economic backgrounds. We hope that the outcome of our efforts is a valuable resource for prospective teachers and other educational professionals.
