Good Condition - Textbook with cover scuffing, noticeable corner/edge creases and spine wear.

Robert V. Kail examines child development through the changes that occur in thinking, behaviour, emotion and social life. The textbook brings research and explanatory models together, helping students compare different accounts of how children develop and how their surroundings influence that process. Examples connect broad principles with recognisable experiences, while the structured presentation supports learning across the subject's main areas. This fifth international edition offers a substantial foundation for readers approaching developmental psychology and related studies. Children and Their Development encourages attention to both patterns and differences, showing how growth involves interacting biological, personal and social influences rather than a single simple sequence of events.
