How Children Develop has established itself as the topically organized textbook teachers and researchers trust for the most up-to-date perspectives on child and adolescent development. The authors, each a well-known scientist and educator - have earned that trust by introducing core concepts and impactful discoveries with an unparalleled integration of theory, cultural research, and applications, all in a style that is authoritative yet immediately understandable and relevant to students.
The new edition has been rigorously updated and welcomes co-author Elizabeth Gershoff (The University of Texas at Austin), who brings a breadth of research and teaching experience to the discussions of social and emotional development. It is also more interactive than ever before, with richer integration between the book and its interactive study features in Achieve.
New media option - Achieve Read & Practice, combining a complete e-textbook with LearningCurve adaptive quizzing. For more, see New to this Edition.

Shelia Greenlee/Christopher Newport University (Siegler user): "The authors do a great job of comparing and contrasting the theories throughout [Ch 4]. I often try to get my students to think about how the theories are similar or different. The use of the themes to introduce each of the theories makes this easier for students to understand."
Jeffrey Liew/Texas A & M University (Siegler user): "The writing is clear even though there is a lot of detail. This allows students to engage in surface or deep learning of the material, depending on their interest, motivation, and background knowledge."
Jeffrey Liew/Texas A & M University (Siegler user): "The authors of this textbook are renowned research scholars and experts in the field and each bring unique expertise and perspectives as well as specialization in different domains of development to the writing of this textbook. With the newer editions, there have been additional authors brought on board to add fresh perspective and contribute expertise on emerging ‘hot’ topics in the field."
Helena Girgis/Hartwick College (Keil user): "Wow, cannot say enough about how much I enjoyed reading this. I learned so much and it is by far and away so much better than what my current textbook has for gender identity. Trying to maintain the balance of teaching and doing research and doing each well is difficult. For teaching, it is a matter of searching out multiple and varied sources to find the current theories, terminology, and in depth snapshots of current research. It is such a relief and a joy to find that in this chapter! It is more important than ever in this ever quickly changing field (gender development) to be able to provide up to date information to students. It helps broaden their mind and allows students are struggling to find their identities labels for some of the processes behind them."
