Nurturing Natures brings together research from attachment theory, neuroscience, developmental psychology and cross-cultural studies to explain how children grow emotionally and socially. It follows development from before birth through infancy and childhood to adolescence, with chapters on language, play, memory and moral understanding.
The third edition adds material on same-sex parenting, transgender young people, the experiences of Black and minority ethnic families, and children’s feelings about climate change. Graham Music, a child and adolescent psychotherapist, writes for students and practitioners in early years education, teaching, social work, health and child mental health, and for parents who want to understand the science of early care.
