How do children think? Children are on a constant path of development from conception to adulthood (and beyond). Understanding children from a psychological perspective can be of great assistance to adults, in order to help them support the children in their lives to develop into highly functioning adults \u2013 whether their own children, or in a professional or social environment.<\/p>\n
This book attempts to provide the skills and knowledge to develop a greater understanding of children, and what is really going on for them. The first chapter discusses developmental stages in a child\u2019s life, which is important for understanding what is to be expected and accepted at different points of a child\u2019s development.<\/p>\n
The next few chapters initiate the age-old discussion on the effects of nature and nurture on development. Chapter four provides insights into the importance of creating balance in a child\u2019s life and chapter five discusses ways to change undesirable behaviour, providing practical solutions. Chapter six takes this a step further, going into problems and solutions of behaviour modification, as well as discussing issues such as abuse, bullying and deprivation.<\/p>\n
The book concludes with a discussion on keeping up to date with constantly evolving research.<\/p>\n
This book will provide valuable clues into the way children think, and useful keys to support development. We hope you enjoy it.<\/p>\n
