This interdisciplinary book offers a unique exploration of the
formative effects of children's early life experiences, with an
emphasis on interactions among neurodevelopmental, behavioral, and
cultural dynamics. The authors draw on insights from
psychobiological, clinical, and cross-cultural comparative research
that maps the robustness of these developmental dynamics across
species and societies. Multidisciplinary case studies focus on
specific periods of development, or windows of susceptibility,
during which caregiving and other cultural practices potentially
have a long-lasting impact on brain and behavior. Chapters describe
in detail: how social experience interacts with neurodevelopmental
disorders; how epigenetic mechanisms mediate the effects of early
environment; the interaction of temperament and environmental
influences; the implications of early life stress or trauma for
mental health and well-being; and the cultural shaping of sexual
development and gender identity. The authors also explore key
aspects of and common experiences associated with modern childhood,
including teasing, bullying, the function of social play, emotional
regulation, and management of attention disorders. The final
section translates insights from this work into a fresh appraisal
of child-rearing practices, clinical interventions, and global
public health policy that affect the mental health and well-being
of children around the world.
