About the Book

Child Development by Shyam Sunder Shrimali is an in‑depth study of a child’s physical, intellectual (cognitive), emotional, social, and moral development, with a special emphasis on the Indian perspective. Covering the journey from the prenatal embryonic stage to adolescence, this book highlights the crucial roles of nature and nurture in shaping a child’s personality.

The book simplifies the complex theories of Jean Piaget and Sigmund Freud, making them accessible to students, teachers, and parents alike. It also discusses the role of mass media in social and moral development and provides practical insights into child psychology and education. Real‑life photographs enhance understanding, making the content both informative and engaging.
