Children and Their Development examines how scientists conduct research in the field and shows how that knowledge can be applied to help children and families. Author Robert Kail explores the theory, research and contemporary applications of child development from conception through adolescence. The text’s accessible writing and modular format help you see how research translates into practice.

The 8th Edition has been thoroughly revised to reflect the latest in the field of development, including coverage of fresh topics.
