This is the second edition of what is regarded by some as a classic text for students and practitioners in the child care and protection field. It summarises current thinking on child development and applies it directly to practice. The authors cover key issues such as resilience and vulnerability and the impact of protective or adverse environments. Each stage of development is discussed, and attachment theory is used to offer insights into the impact of abuse and neglect on development. Case studies are included throughout, along with activities to encourage the reader to improve their understanding and reflect on good practice. The second edition has been fully updated to reflect the new policy context and multi-disciplinary practice. It encourages practitioners to consider each child as an individual with unique circumstances. Chapters include: framework for understanding child development; developing relationships; parenting and care-giving; resilience and vulnerability; protective factors and adversity; early years; school years; adolescence; and stress and support in the lives of children facing adversity.

This book explains how children in their early years gain resilience from a range of experience, including attachment relationships, opportunities to develop self esteem and learning to understand others and behaving in a positive way towards them. With this in mind, the authors set out ways of encouraging prosocial behaviour in young children, involving them in the process of evaluation, giving support to parents, and using activities to nurture the child's 'theory of mind'.

Summarises current thinking on child development and applies it directly to practice. Considers ways in which development can be interrupted and explores concepts of vulnerability and resilience, while relating them closely to helping children who have been abused or have suffered other trauma. Also looks at the quality of children's human interactions, and the importance of assessing them as part of a social network. Shows how attachment theory can be helpful for child care and protection practice, as it relates language and cognitive, moral and social development to the quality of human relationships. Includes case studies. Aims to encourage practitioners to respond to the circumstances of each child as unique.
