Excellent Study Guide on Children's Psychology

I think that this book is an excellent textbook for teaching entry level college psychology courses and upper level high school courses on children's development and thinking. I really enjoyed using this textbook in one of my Elementary Education psychology courses mainly because it gives interesting theoretical views about children's thinking. This textbook has theories from well-renowned psychologists such as Piaget, Vygotsky, Jean Jacques Rousseau, John Locke, and Freud. If I had to recommend this book to someone, I would recommend that teachers, psychologists, counselors, and anyone who deals with children on a daily basis obtain a copy of this book. It is an excellent source of information for understanding children's behaviors, learning styles, and cognitive capabilities at varying stages of life.
