This Very Short Introduction provides an up-to-date, authoritative,
and accessible guide to modern child psychology, from birth to
early adolescence. Beginning with infancy, Usha Goswami considers
the process of attachment and 'bonding', showing how secure
attachments enable the development of self-understanding. Exploring
childhood learning, ranging from aspects of language and thinking
to cognitive reasoning, Goswami looks at how babies and toddlers
develop an understanding of the physical, biological, and social
worlds, and develop complex abilities like language and morality.
Demonstrating how learning is shaped by the environments
surrounding the child; at home, school, with peers, and in wider
society, Goswami emphasizes the importance of childhood friendships
and siblings for psychological development. Introducing the key
theories in child psychology, Goswami explains why children develop
as they do and how society can further optimize their development
through the adolescent years. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short

of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books
