The book reviews major theories of development and presents cutting-edge knowledge about key areas--language development, intelligence and intellectual diversity, motivation, family and peer relationships, gender role development, and mental health. Factors influencing academic achievement and social-emotional growth are identified, and applications for instruction and intervention highlighted.
