Child Development Stages

This valuable standard work on pedagogy, fully updated and revised by psychologists Christie Amons and Remco Bakker, describes child development in phases of approximately seven years each. Each phase has its own unique character, with clear physical changes: the growth process unfolds in periods marked by, among other things, the change of teeth, puberty, and the completion of biological growth. Psychological development is equally important. Lievegoed focuses primarily on the child's relationship to the world around them. He describes the experiences of toddlers, preschoolers, schoolchildren, adolescents, and young adults in a comprehensible and relatable way. The second part of the book addresses the practice of parenting and education. Besides providing insight, the author also aims to generate enthusiasm for a parenting style that takes into account all aspects of child development.
