The Science of Early Child Development 2nd Edition (2008) has been thoroughly updated with new topics, readings and links. There are now over 150 video clips of researchers, experts, children and caregivers.

The Science of Early Child Development, International Edition is relevant to educators, practitioners, advocates and policy makers interested in a more global perspective on early child development matters.

You can use the Science of Early Child Development whether you are involved in training others or you work directly with children and families. It is an interactive online curriculum resource that looks at:

• The new framework for understanding child development.
• How everyday experiences affect children’s biological pathways with long-term outcomes on health, learning and behaviour.
• Why people who work with children and families should understand the science of early development.
• How what we do when children are little affects the long-term health and well-being of children and of entire populations.
• How we can narrow the gap between research and practice.

"The Red River multimedia program on early child development is unique in that it links the story of experience-based brain development with child development in relation to health, learning and behaviour. This body of knowledge is not only important for preparing the professionals who work in early child development, but is also crucial for individuals in the education programs, parents as well as individuals in government both locally, provincially and nationally."
