Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Youth and child development is an important and progressive stage for our young generations in establishing their health and well-being in the long run. In fact, youth and child development involves various and multi-layered dimensions that are susceptible to the influences of family, peers, school, environment, culture, society, political economy, and their intrapersonal traits. Additionally, youth and child health is a pivotal concern as it directly influences the long-term sustainability and healthy development of our societies in the future, which are in fact inseparable from youth and child development. This Special Issue welcomes high-quality contributions addressing the issues related to youth and child development and health; potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Youth and child development;
- Psychological and physical health;
- Family socialization;
- Societal impacts;
- School environments;
- Peer networks;
- Sociopolitical, economic, and/or cultural influences;
- Intrapersonal traits and characteristics;
- Interpersonal interactions;
- Childhood, adolescence, and adulthood;
- Transitional stages.
