Used this for my Child Development class, clear and concise. I think it's easy to read and the concepts are intersting. Book breaks concepts down easily and give good examples. Definitely the ideal type of text book that anyone would want for a course.

I like it because it is comprehensive and contemporary. It speaks to why we need to understand the different phases of child development so that we are able to help our children.

Great book for those interested in this field. Easy to follow text, charts, diagrams, etc... I like the real life stories it includes.

I REALLY enjoyed this book because it was very informational and I had tons of fun learning .Its going to be good information for me as I go into the next level of learning in my psychology class.

This book made me realize both my parental and social mistakes. Rich in psychological contents, this book will give you answers and communication skills. A book for everyone, a must read!

I an renting this book. It arrived very quickly and in brand new condition. It reads better than most boring text books that's just filled with vocabulary and procedures.

I am greatly pleased with the condition of this book and in the timely manor it was delivered. This gives me the chance to get a head start on my reading to be prepared for my class. Thanks for your great work.

So far it has been great to have for the class I am taking in college and has lots of information.
