Inhaltsangabe

From the beginning of life, young children’s learning and activities depend on their cognitive capabilities and development. 

To cope with the environment they live in, children need to learn about their physical and social worlds; acquire language; regulate their bodies, emotions, and thoughts; and gain competence in literacy, mathematics, science, and other knowledge domains. This collection of readings from books and Young Children articles outlines important dimensions of their early cognitive development and describes approaches for promoting it.

Scientists all over the world are studying how very young babies listen to language; understand number concepts; learn from their changing perspectives as they roll over, sit, and stand; and always...always how they count on trusted adults to help them gain new awareness of themselves, others, and the world. We are learning why relationships are so important to development. We are learning about individual differences such as temperament and developmental challenges, the influence of a family’s and community’s cultural beliefs, and the impact of early experiences on the brain. Because so many babies are in nonparental care, we are also studying both the positive effects and the challenges of providing group care for infants and toddlers.
