Infancy: The Basics offers an introduction to the developmental
science behind the fascinating world of infant development. This
book takes the reader from before birth through the moment infants
come into the world seemingly unable to do much but eat, eliminate,
and sleep, and across the few short, incredible years, to when
infants are walking, talking, thinking humans with clear
preferences, wishes, and dreams, having already forged strong
long-lasting relationships. Dispelling common myths and
misconceptions about how infants' perception, cognition, language,
and personalities develop, this accessible evidence-based book
takes a novel whole-child approach and provides insight into the
joint roles of nature (biology) and nurture (experiences) in infant
development, how to care for babies to give them the best start in
life, and what it means for infants to become thinking
communicating social partners. Topics in this book are covered with
an eye firmly fixed on how infants' first years set the stage for
the rest of their lives. By helping us understand infants, experts
Marc H. Bornstein and Martha E. Arterberry give us the opportunity
to learn about the resiliency of our species and the many different
contexts in which families rear infants. They cover key topics,
including how babies are studied scientifically, prenatal
development and the newborn period, how infants explore and
understand the world around them, how infants begin to communicate,
how infants develop an emotional life, personality, and
temperament, how infants build relationships, and how parents
succeed in bringing up babies in challenging circumstances. This
concise clear guide to the years from before birth to 3 is for
students of developmental psychology, pediatric medicine and
nursing, education, and social work. It also for all parents and
professionals caring for infants, who want to understand the secret
world of infancy.
