"The Development of Play explores the central role of play in childhood development. David Cohen examines how children play with objects, with language, and most importantly with each other and their parents. He explains how play enables children to learn how to move, think, speak and imagine, as well as to develop emotionally and socially. Incorporating much of the recent research in this area, including that of John Flavell, Henry Wellman and others, The Development of Play shows how play encourages children to grasp the difference between appearance and reality"

""The second edition of the Handbook of Early Childhood Intervention is a core text for students and experienced professionals who are interested in the health, development, and well-being of young children and their families. It is intended to serve as a reference for service providers, policy makers, researchers, graduate students, and advanced trainees in such diverse fields as child care, early childhood education, child health, and early intervention programs for children with developmental disabilities as well as for those who live in high-risk environments (e.g., poverty and parental mental illness) that jeopardize their development. This book will be of interest to professionals in a broad range of disciplines including psychology, child development, early childhood education, social work, pediatrics, nursing, child psychiatry, physical and occupational therapy, speech and language pathology, and social policy. Its main purpose is to provide a scholarly overview of the knowledge base and practice of early childhood intervention. With fifteen entirely new chapters and thirteen extensively revised chapters, it is unique in its balance between breadth and depth and its integration of the multiple dimensions of the field.""

"In the classic movie, The Breakfast Club this dialog among three adolescents is reflective of how teenagers often regard school and academics. In this example, Brian, clearly in the minority because he enjoys the physics club, is referred to as “a dork.” His schoolmate further goes on to characterize such clubs as, “demented and sad, but social …” Though a fictitious satire, the film reflects the unfortunate reality of how teenagers often regard school and students who are enthusiastic members of learning. This scorn and ridicule directed at Brian illustrates how students who value school are often subject to criticism and low social status; a claim which has been supported in the literature.Evaluating and promoting positive school attitude in adolescents goes beyond these traditional measurements and explores less psychologically focused indicators, including ecological factors and observable behaviors. This study provides school psychologists with a new, comprehensive, and ecologically based approach with which to evaluate the school attitude of high school students.​"

"Childrens development of executive functions and the impact of these cognitive processes on childrens lives from the preschool to the upper elementary school years are reviewed in light of current research findings. Chapters in Part One of the text discuss prefrontal brain networks affiliated with executive functions; issues that concern the behavioral measurement of executive functions in clinical populations; the relationship between executive functions and other cognitive (theory of mind) and language processes (plurilingualism) that are emerging in young children; and how executive functions support the transition of children from home to school contexts. Chapters in Part Two of the book focus on individual differences in executive functions among children with disorders such as ASD and ADHD and how these findings can be used to inform intervention. Throughout the text, a focus is placed on exploring the influence of executive functioning on the lives of children at home as well as in school and community contexts."
