Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

MoreLong description:
Professionals working with children—whether in education, social work, or other child-focused fields—are increasingly recognizing the importance of developing child observation skills. At the time, systematic approaches to studying children were still undergoing significant development and refinement.
First published in 1987, Child Observation Skills offers an engaging exploration of the history, philosophy, and methodology of directly observing children. It examines research designs employed in observational studies, provides practical exercises, and outlines methods for recording behaviour. Importantly, the book consistently connects these research practices to philosophical considerations, emphasizing the interplay between the prevailing philosophy of science and the ways observations are conducted and data are recorded. This resource is invaluable for students and researchers in child psychology and human development.
Review of the first publication:
‘…this is a valuable book, of use to students of child development or practitioners who wish to improve their observation skills.’
— Alan Russell, Flinders University
