Covering a broad range of concepts, themes and issues related to development in children and young people and using multi-disciplinary insights to show how children and young people negotiate crucial challenges and transitions in their lives, this textbook: • shows how key theories, issues and practice dimensions link together; • provides fresh insights on topics including mental health, bereavement and disability in children; • includes chapter introductions, summaries, practice examples and activities throughout to ensure confident application of knowledge. With a companion volume that addresses human growth and development in adults, this is an invaluable tool for students as well as a useful refresher resource for experienced practitioners.
