Myths, misunderstandings, and mixed messages about child development can often get in the way of student learning. Author Jean Mercer exposes some of the most commonly held myths offering scientific research findings to refute ill-informed claims. Critical thinking questions at the end of each reading offer students the opportunity to explore the issues in more depth, challenging their preconceived ideas and helping them to develop a researcher's approach to the acquistion of knowledge.
