Infants and Children in Context - Tara L. Kuther

Like children themselves, development is dynamic. In the chronologically organized<strong> Infants and Children in Context,</strong> award-winning author Tara L. Kuther frames development research in real-life contexts, including gender, race and ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and more. Kuther presents highly relatable examples, vivid cross-cultural stories, and&nbsp;case studies of real individuals, consistently prompting students to reflect on chapter content with <em>What do you think? </em>critical thinking questions. The book emphasizes three core themes: the centrality of context, the importance of research, and the applied value of developmental science; students will come away with an understanding of these themes that they will immediately be able to apply to their own lives and future careers.
