Developmental Domains in Early Childhood: New Approaches for Studying Child Growth and Development provides students with a comprehensive collection of significant research on human development. The text is organized into five distinct sections. The first section introduces students to essential developmental theories and presents a general overview of significant domains of child development such as the cognitive, physical, social, emotional, language-related, and speech-related domains. The second section provides readers with multiple perspectives on cognitive development, including Piaget's cognitive development theory, Vygotsky's sociocultural theory, and information processing theory. The third section emphasizes the importance of physical development throughout a child's life. Dedicated articles address fine and gross motor skills, the strengthening of bones and muscles, and the ability to move and touch from birth through early childhood. In the fourth section, social and emotional development is discussed. Students are introduced to various social-emotional theories through which children obtain the capacity to recognize, express, experience, and manage their emotions. The final section discusses language development in early childhood. Created to provide future child educators with vital information and insight, Developmental Domains in Early Childhood is ideal for courses and programs in human development, child development, and education.
