The Development of Children and Adolescents, by Penny Hauser-Cram, J. Kevin Nugent,Kathleen Thies,and John F. Travers, provides an  integrated view of child development. Presenting the most pertinent research for each developmental stage and linking this to practical applications in the areas of Parenting, Policy, and Practice, this balanced approach emphasizes the relationship between research and theory and applications.

Through the combination of text and media, students are engaged in meaningful learning that deepens and enriches their understanding of developmental concepts.
