Thus, growth and development are directly related to the childs nutrition, affluence, parenting styles, education, and interaction with peers.To thrive in a world increasingly shaped by science and technology, our children and grandchildren must have a basic understanding of how the world works, how we came to know what we know, and the ability to learn useful new knowledge and skills on their own hands and minds. Literacy in science, mathematics, and technology is no longer an option. But where and when should we begin? This book aims to bring together key themes and issues in childhood studies in order to provide an introduction to students and practitioners working in this field.
