"The first volume of readings for the Child Development in Social Context series concentrates on the importantce of social relationships in the young child's life. Early readings summarize rcent research on children's emotional attachments. But relationships are also the context for much of their early play and learning. There are readings to illustrate how parents "frame", guide, and "scaffold" young children's development with special reference to the way children are inititiated into using language as a tool for learning. This cross-cultural dimension of early development is a particular focus of this volume, which concludes with readings on the costruction of personal identity," - from back cover.
