誕生から思春期までの心理と発達を幅広く取り上げます。乳児期に安心感のある触れ合いを経験することで自己の認識を始めますが、乳児は言語、思考、認知といった周囲の世界をどう理解していくのでしょうか。また、児童の学習や心理的発達にとって、家庭、学校、仲間など周囲の環境は重要です。道徳観念の形成についても考察し、児童の健やかな発達について考えます。
This Very Short Introduction provides an up-to-date, authoritative, and accessible guide to modern child psychology, from birth to early adolescence. Beginning with infancy, Usha Goswami considers the process of attachment and 'bonding', showing how secure attachments enable the development of self-understanding. Exploring childhood learning, ranging from aspects of language and thinking to cognitive reasoning, Goswami looks at how babies and toddlers develop an understanding of the physical, biological, and social worlds, and develop complex abilities like language and morality.
Demonstrating how learning is shaped by the environments surrounding the child; at home, school, with peers, and in wider society, Goswami emphasizes the importance of childhood friendships and siblings for psychological development. Introducing the key theories in child psychology, Goswami explains why children develop as they do and how society can further optimize their development through the adolescent years.
