Learning From Latinos: Contexts, Families, and Child Development in Motion

We emphasize how psychologists, pediatric researchers, and social scientists have described or built fresh explanatory accounts regarding the social structure of and features of individuals within diverse Latino families, how parents reproduce heritage practices that offer social cohesion for children and uneven adaptation to novel contexts and organizations, and the consequences for children's social and cognitive development, including how psychologists have come to see learning as situated in particular contexts, leading to provocative questions about the situational or universal causes and mediating processes of child development.
