Margaret Donaldson’s seminal work on child development, first published in 1978, has become a classic inquiry into the nature of human thought.In this concise and brilliantly readable book, Margaret Donaldson shows that context is key when it comes to the development of language and thought, and how the right support can ensure children are skilled in these areas before they even start school. She revisits earlier theories of child development, notably those of Jean Piaget, to expose flaws in the accepted wisdom on child psychology and to suggest a range of new strategies to help children combat difficulties.As wise and perceptive today as it was when it first appeared, Margaret Donaldson’s bestselling work is essential reading for anyone interested in child development and child psychology.

Margaret Donaldson was educated at the University of Edinburgh, where she later continued as a teacher and became Professor of Developmental Psychology. Her main research interest has always been in the study of human thought and language. At an early stage in her career she spent some time at Piaget’s research institute in Geneva and was much influenced by the experience, although she later came to question some important aspects of Piagetian theory. She is the author of ‘A Study of Children’s Thinking’ and ‘Human Minds’, and the co-editor of a book of readings entitled ‘Early Childhood Development and Education’.
