Suess, Gerhard J. – International Journal of Developmental Science, 2016
In this commentary, Suess opines that comparing risk- and non-risk-groups, as is done in the study by Witting, Ruiz, and Ahnert (2016), is a favored approach in developmental psychopathology in order to learn more about underlying mechanisms of normal development, as well as developmental deviations. Witting and colleagues followed up this…

Skager, Rodney – Reclaiming Children and Youth, 2009
Young people sandwiched between childhood and adulthood often rebel when adults treat them like children rather than with the respect that acknowledges their intelligence and potential.

Chambliss, J. J. – Journal of Educational Thought, 1979
Comparing the conception of human development found in the educational theories of Plato and Rousseau, it is found that the nature of childhood in Rousseau's "Emile" so resembles the account of child development in Plato's "Laws" that any difference claimed between them must be one of degree. (Author/SJL)
