  Now in its third edition, The Development of Children is uniquely attentive to both scientific ramifications and potential practical applications of research findings, as well as the real-life social consequences of changing trends in scientific thought. The result is a skilfully woven and compelling story of how children grow, with a consistent emphasis on the influence of culture on development. Throughout, the text examines the influences of diverse child-rearing strategies, underscoring that there is no single 'correct' method. The book is masterfully written, with a flow among topics that allows the reader to apprehend the points with little effort.
