This item has been replaced by Developing Child, The, 12/E.

With new co-author Denise Boyd, this topical text preserves previous editions' informal writing while adding outstanding pedagogy, including activities that help students replicate classic research.

The Developing Child, Tenth Edition, is a top-selling topical child development book known for its personal, conversational writing style; balanced coverage of both theory and application; and strong emphasis on culture.

Helen Bee is a prominent author and researcher whose successful books on development, and whose devotion to this field has earned her a national reputation. Denise Boyd of Houston Community College System joins Helen Bee in refreshing this popular, longstanding text.

Chapter organization allows professors to present child development material in a topical format.

A conversational style of writing engages students in child development on a personal level.

An integrated emphasis on cultural variation frequently contrasts collectivist and individualistic cultural systems.

“The Real World” boxes feature discussions of practical, applied questions in child development, showing students that it is possible to study such applied questions with scientific methods, but also that such theories and research relate to their own lives.

“Research Report” boxes examine a particularly important study or series of studies in child development.

Critical thinking marginal questions and activities encourage students to relate material in the book to their own experiences.

Chapter summaries, now organized by major chapter headings, help students assess how much information they have learned.

“See for Yourself” features give students the tools they need to test, research, and/or apply child development principles in their own lives.

The tenth edition includes two new boxed features: “Development in the Information Age” boxes present ideas and research about how information technology may shape development, and “No Easy Answers” boxes introduce students to the idea that there are many practical questions associated with children's development for which the science of developmental psychology cannot provide definitive answers.

With more and larger photos than ever, the Tenth Edition is the most visual edition yet!

Culture is integrated throughout, instead of being relegated to a box, to make it clear to students that cultural variables are central to the study of development.

Each chapter begins with a set of “Preview Questions” that correspond to the chapter's major headings.

“Before Going On” questions in the margins at the end of each major section prompt students to stop reading and determine whether they can recall various pieces of information before moving on.
