Presents a social psychological account of how the lives of children are shaped by social interaction, particularly interaction with parents and other caretakers. Examines the special language of children, their socialization experiences, and the emergence of their self-conceptions--all as they occur in their natural surroundings: daycare centers, homes, playgrounds, schools, and many other places.
