Jo Bok-hee et al.: Infant and toddler development

This book consists of five parts. Part 1 examines the characteristics of development, debates regarding development, research methods, and various theories that form the academic foundation of early childhood development. Parts 2 and 3 introduce the development of infancy and early childhood by subdividing them into physical, cognitive, language, and socio-emotional development, respectively. Part 4 covers early childhood development tests currently used in the field and developmental disorders that make social adaptation difficult during the growth process. Finally, Part 5 explores the family, television and screens, and childcare environments—which are utilized by the majority of infants and toddlers due to the implementation of national policies—that exert a profound influence on early childhood development. This book is primarily designed as a professional text for students aspiring to work in fields related to early childhood. However, to ensure it is understandable for professionals working in early childhood welfare and the general public regarding child rearing, terms are color-coded, and in-depth discussions are presented to include engaging content. Furthermore, numerous illustrations and tables have been included to facilitate the easy grasp of concepts, with the hope that visual effects will encourage greater interest in early childhood development.
