Peer Groups and Children's Development considers the experiences of school-aged children with their peer groups and its implications for their social, personal and intellectual development
- Focuses on the peer group experiences of children attending school in Western societies, from five years of age through to adolescence
- Considers peer groups in classrooms, friendships made within and outside of school, and the groups that children participate in for extra-curricular activities
- Includes a final summary which brings together the significant implications for theory, policy and practice
- Unique in that no other volume reviews and integrates literature relating to peer groups in both classroom and out-of-class settings
- Addresses the research interests of psychologists and educationalists, as well as the practical concerns of teachers, parents, counsellors, and policy makers
