Childhood plays a fundamental role in the course of life. But how and when do various abilities develop, what influences this development, and how do differences between individuals arise? What do developmental psychological insights mean for professional work with children? This book provides a solid overview of key areas of child development from conception to around the twelfth year of life. It also presents practical approaches for development-oriented support and intervention. Learning questions assist in exam preparation. The third edition has been updated in reference to new research findings.
