520    This Very Short Introduction provides an up-to-date, 
       authoritative, and accessible guide to modern child 
       psychology, from birth to early adolescence. Beginning 
       with infancy, Usha Goswami considers the process of 
       attachment and 'bonding', showing how secure attachments 
       enable the development of self-understanding. Exploring 
       childhood learning, ranging from aspects of language and 
       thinking to cognitive reasoning, Goswami looks at how 
       babies and toddlers develop an understanding of the 
       physical, biological, and social worlds, and develop 
       complex abilities like language and morality. 
       Demonstrating how learning is shaped by the environments 
       surrounding the child; at home, school, with peers, and in
       wider society, Goswami emphasizes the importance of 
       childhood friendships and siblings for psychological 
       development. Introducing the key theories in child 
       psychology, Goswami explains why children develop as they 
       do and how society can further optimize their development 
       through the adolescent years.
