Description

For the undergraduate child development course taught chronologically.

 

The World of Children is a new chronological child development textbook by Joan Littlefield Cook and Greg Cook that helps students connect the science and the practice of child development in a way that can positively change lives. This exciting new text features an active learning system that exposes students to real people facing real world child development challenges, and encourages them to think critically about issues from multiple perspectives.

 

The World of Children demonstrates the practical applications of child development through interviews with a diverse group of real parents (A Personal Perspective) and a variety of professionals (A Professional Perspective) who rely upon child development information in their jobs. Each chapter also spotlights the ways programs, laws, regulations, and other governing aspects of society can affect children (A Social Policy Perspective).


Features

Recognizing that most students are not training to become developmental psychologists themselves, the World of Children makes every effort to answer the questions on most students minds.

 

  • Do your students want to know how child development addresses everyday challenges?
    Each chapter opens with the story of an individual facing a dilemma involving the care of children, such as a parent dropping her child off at daycare for the first time. For example, in chapter 6, we meet Erin, the mother of 1 yr old Patrick, who is dropping her son off at daycare for the first time, and wondering if she's doing the right thing. Throughout the chapter, “Thinking About…” boxes  ask students to take the perspective of that individual and develop advice or solutions to the opening dilemma. The authors tie chapter content back to the opening case in an end-of-chapter “Thinking Back to...” summary.



  • Would your students like to see how real parents relate to real child development issues?
    “A Personal Perspective” interviews, one in every chapter, show students how real people—parents,
    children, or adolescents—relate to child development issues. In chapter 6, for example, students meet a parent of a difficult child, and learn how the parents have dealt with their child's concerning behavior.



  • Are your students wondering how they might make use of child development findings in their future careers?
    “A Professional Perspective” interviews, one in every chapter, introduce students to real child development professionals (such as a genetic counselor, social worker, and childcare professional) who discuss how they use child development information in their careers.



  • Are your students concerned voters who want to know how social policies impact the development of children?
     
    “A Social Policy Perspective” analyses, one in every chapter, highlight the ways programs, laws, regulations, and other governing aspects of society can affect children and ask students to think about the impact of social policies on children. Chapter 5, for example, addresses the issue of predictive infant cognitive assessments and asks students to consider the benefits and risks of social policies that promote these interventions.



  • Are your students asking how child development issues relate to them?
    “Your Perspective” critical thinking questions, found in the margins throughout the text, stimulate inner thought and actively involve the student with the material.



  • Is diversity coverage an important consideration for you?
    While tackling the challenge of describing the commonalities of development, the authors carefully integrate research studies that capture statistics and results from many cultures, and discuss the influences of culture and ethnicity on many aspects of development.             



  • Do your students want to know about alternative paths of development?
    Although most of the text is about development that progresses in a typical fashion, the authors also cover atypical paths in development, including abuse and neglect, behavioral, emotional, developmental and learning problems, and gifted, talented and resilient children. Topics are covered where appropriate in the chronological sequence. 
     

  • Are your students asking for additional help learning and applying the concepts found in the textbook?
    In addition to the superb Grade Aid study guide, The World of Children is accompanied by MyDevelopmentLab, an online teaching and learning system featuring video, animations, and simulations organized around an online version of the textbook. MyDevelopmentLab is accompanied by powerful assessment tools that promote better, more efficient student learning.

Reviews

“This text is beautifully written and engaging. It is not pedantic and it maintains student interest. In particular, “Your Perspective Notes” and the vignettes are inspiring.” Lila Snow, Los Angeles Pierce College

 

“I was impressed with the writing style and accessibility to community college students. While still maintaining rigor, the writing was easy to read/digest.” Amy Obegi, Grossmont College

 

“The implementation of critical thinking is quite excellent in this text. Most of that seems to be induced by the pedagogical tools used by the authors, particularly the ‘Think Back Notes,’ ‘As You Study,’ and the Perspective and Social Policy tools that the authors have introduced.” Mark P. Rittman, Cuyahoga Community College

 

“There is a serious attempt to engage the students in thinking beyond the cursory presentation of developmental issues.” David P. Hurford, Pittsburg State University

 

“I found the amount of research to be solid and with well-documented studies that were explained effectively.” Judith M. Geary, University of Michigan, Dearborn

 

“I like the positive approach used with discussing ethnic and cultural differences.” Steven A. Dennis, Brigham Young University, Idaho

 

“The Professional Perspective Boxes are a creative way of introducing careers in the field. I have never seen this used in a textbook and I like it.” Marcie Coulter-Kern, Manchester College

 

“The Social Policy Boxes are a good idea, and help students understand how the information they are learning affects public policy.” Michelle M. Englund, University of Minnesota

The World of Children

Joan Littlefield Cook and Greg Cook

 

 

From the very first chapter, this chronologically organized child development text engages students in the development process by exposing them to real people facing real world child development challenges. The World of Children encourages students to think critically about issues and situations from multiple perspectives, helping them connect the science with the practice of child development in a way that can positively change lives.

 

 

 

“I, personally, have never seen a text that does such a good job in critical thinking. There are very few times students have to just give the information back without having to apply it."

–Cathy Pollock, Asheville Buncombe Technical Community College

 

“The implementation of critical thinking is quite excellent in this text.”

–Mark P. Rittman, Cuyahoga Community College

 

“This text is beautifully written and engaging. It is not pedantic and it maintains student interest.”

–Lila Snow, Los Angeles Pierce College
