Understanding Child Development is designed to serve as an educational and practical resource for those studying Early Childhood Education, as well as for social service workers, special educators, parents and others who require a practical understanding of young children from prenatal to age eight. The author has related critical social and cultural factors to young childrens development, and has presented factors relevant to working with children with special needs throughout the text. She also has put particular emphasis on real-life examples, anecdotes, activities, reference lists and review questions to keep the readers interest while giving them the opportunity for further learning and discussion. Special features, charts and full-color photographs make this book come alive!

 A must read and have reference! January 16, 2008

Hi! I live in Japan and am a children's language school owner. This book is a must read and important reference to anyone serious and committed to teaching children, particularly children as a life's work. I'm still working through the book (even on the train!) and I am now have a great new reference written from an expert in the field. It's like having a licensed co-worker along side with me! Thank you Dr. Charlesworth for your jewels of information, particularly over here in Japan!

 Excellent Child Development Text August 9, 2006

Charlesworth, the jack-of-all-trades early childhood writer, gives her version of a child development text, and resultingly produces a gold star effort namely because of her super-extreme focus on details.
She begins with a "how-to" perspective on understanding development then proceeds from prenatal development to the culminating whole child. Lots of pictures, lots of charts, lots of side articles...and PLENTY of research citations for further study and scrutiny.
Get it.
