Readings in the Text

The following readings come from the Child Development text by Santrock.

Santrock, J. W. (1998). Child development (8th ed.). New York: McGraw-Hill.

They provide additional depth in the PEPSI subjects. If you have a strong background in child development, you may only need to browse the material. If it has been quite some time since you studied human development or you find these ideas to be new, you will find Santrock's style informative and pleasant.
