Jana draws on studies and stories from pediatrics, neuroscience, social science, and childcare, as well as the world of business and innovation to show parents how to equip their children with seven key skills.

"Child Development: Context, Culture, and Cascades is a new child development text that presents a contemporary understanding of development today. Written by an active researcher, this text is informed by the importance of socio-cultural context, the interconnectedness of developmental domains, and a focus on contemporary research. This textbook adopts the familiar structure of presenting a chronological approach that structures domains of development under periods of development, meaning that periods of development (prenatal, infancy, toddlerhood, early childhood, etc.) fit within domains of development (physical, language, cognitive, social, emotional). An introductory section lays a foundation with theoretical frameworks and discipline-relevant constructs (continuity, stability, sensitive periods). The book provides three thematic features that collectively make it unique to the field and aim to enrich the thinking of students and instructors alike. These are (1) developmental cascades; (2) the socio-cultural contexts of development; and (3) the inclusion of contemporary research in the field"--
