Lifespan Development 3e
Lifespan Development is designed to help your students understand human growth and development across the lifespan. The contents of this text show that even though not all people are alike, they do go through similar stages of development. Young children learn to walk, talk, spell, jump, and tell jokes. Teens learn to become more independent. Adults take on more responsibilities for themselves and others. Throughout the lifespan, people continue to develop and change physically, cognitively, socially, and emotionally. The developmental theories of Erikson, Piaget, Vygotsky, and Kohlberg are highlighted. The text also includes strategies that promote lifespan health and wellness.
