Features: This book is imbued throughout with the concept of "lifespan and holistic developmental psychology," which holds that the growth of any child is a comprehensive product of the local and contemporary human, natural, and social environments. This is reflected in the fact that a child's growth is directly influenced by the family, while the child's growth, in turn, directly and profoundly impacts the family they belong to. The growth of any family or any child cannot be entirely divorced from the influence of the historical context, geographical environment, social and political environment. From this perspective, the growth of any child cannot be an isolated event; rather, it is a highly social process. This is a book that discusses the general characteristics and universal laws of child growth, consistently emphasizing the concept of "lifespan and holistic developmental psychology," which posits that the growth of any child is a comprehensive product of the local and contemporary human, natural, and social environments. From this viewpoint, the book understands a child's growth as a highly social process, elaborates on the patterns of psychological and physiological changes in children aged 0-18 during this process, and proposes specific and detailed suggestions for parenting.
