Starting point for learning about child development

A good introduction to the development of young children. This text breaks things down well. It may seem a little elementary at times though. It is great for new parents or students studying Early Childhood Development. A great place to start when learning the basics of child development.

Excellent educational book

As an Early Childhood development student I found this a great resource. It goes through stages of development, explores and explains different theories of child development. It would also be a good resource for parents.
