Summary: Have you ever wondered where the terms "terrible twos" and "identity crisis" come from? Did you know that the notion that children are different from adults, and require special care, is only about 200 years old? Did you know we could trace most of our modern ideas about children to just two renowned thinkers of the 17th and 18th centuries? These are just a few of the fascinating aspects of the field of "human development": the science that studies how we learn and develop psychologically, from birth to the end of life. This series introduces the six major theories of child development, the people who formulated each theory, the philosophical backgrounds and historical contexts in which they worked, and the specific processes of human development that each theory describes. Along the way, the strengths and weaknesses of each theory are evaluated in order to determine how these six great theories complement or contradict one another, as well as what they tell us, as a whole, about human development.
