Читать книгу Infants and Children in Context - Tara L. Kuther - Страница 25

Individuals undergo innumerable changes as they progress through infancy, childhood, and adolescence, a process known as development. Development refers to the processes by which we grow and change, as well as the ways in which we stay the same over time. The field of developmental science studies human development at all points in life, from conception to death. In this book we will examine child development; however, individuals undergo complex changes at every period in life, beginning before birth and continuing throughout adulthood.
