Overview

This accessible and fully updated textbook explores the relationship between neuroscience and our understanding of child development, considering the links between brain development and social and cultural issues. Examining the 0 -18+ age range, the new edition critically analyses the relationship between children and young people's thoughts, behaviours and feelings and the way in which their developing brains are structured. It considers some of the ways in which neuroscience knowledge has been distorted by popular ideas such as brain gym, learning styles and theories about emotional intelligence. Assuming no prior knowledge of the subject, the text connects the latest scientific knowledge to the practice of understanding and working with children. It offers students and CYP practitioners: - bulleted chapter introductions; - controversies and discussion material in boxed features; - case studies showing how brain science is changing practice.
