Features: To adapt to the continuous reform and innovation needs of China's preschool education, this textbook has been revised to strive for theoretical novelty, broad content, and unique arrangement. Specifically, the novelty of the theory is primarily reflected in the brand-new understanding of children aged 0–6. The revision incorporates the latest theories and experimental results on the psychological development of preschool children from China and around the world. The breadth of the content is demonstrated in the collection of materials, where the revision strives to include the latest research trends. In addition to the previous elaboration on the theories and research of psychological development in 0-6-year-old children, it also introduces the development of fetuses and analyzes and discusses the humanistic environment that affects the growth of preschool children. The uniqueness of the arrangement is reflected in breaking the traditional format, clearly dividing the age groups of preschool children into 0–3 years and 3–6 years to better help readers understand the psychological development characteristics of infants aged 0–3. At the same time, the psychological functions are mainly summarized into three parts: physiological, cognitive, and social psychology. This textbook consists of three parts: The first part, consisting of two chapters, provides an overview of the main theories and research methods of psychological development in preschool children; the second part, consisting of three chapters, systematically introduces the physiological, cognitive, and social psychological development of infants aged 0–3; the third part, also consisting of three chapters, introduces and analyzes the physiological, cognitive, and social psychological development of children aged 3–6.
