Very Short Introduction provides an up-to-date,
authoritative, and accessible guide to modern child psychology,
from birth to early adolescence. Beginning with infancy, Usha
Goswami considers the process of attachment and bonding, showing
how secure attachments enable the development of
self-understanding. Exploring childhood learning, ranging from

looks at how babies and toddlers develop an understanding of the
physical, biological, and social worlds, and develop complex
abilities like language and morality.

Demonstrating how learning is shaped by the environments
surrounding the child; at home, school, with peers, and in wider
society, Goswami emphasizes the importance of childhood friendships
and siblings for psychological development. Introducing the key
theories in child psychology, Goswami explains why children develop
as they do and how society can further optimize their development
through the adolescent years.
