Child Development Worldwide: A Cultural Approach

For courses in Child Development which take a topical approach

An expansive, topical approach to how culture impacts development
Child Development Worldwide presents a topical examination of all stages of development — from prenatal development through middle childhood, adolescence, and emerging adulthood — through the engaging lens of culture. Cross-cultural examples integrated throughout the narrative reveal the impact of cultural factors both in the US and around the world. Authors Lene Arnett Jensen and Jeffrey Jensen Arnett emphasize culture to foster a thorough, balanced view of development that prepares students to face challenges in our diverse and globalized world — whether they travel the globe or remain in their hometowns.

Child Development Worldwide is also available via Revel™, an interactive learning environment that enables students to read, practice, and study in one continuous experience.
