Child Growth and Development

Catalog description

Child Growth and Development investigates how children from prenatal to adolescent grow physically, cognitively, emotionally, and socially. Students will analyze both typical and atypical developmental patterns, using the whole-child systems approach to understand how milestones, theories, and sociocultural factors shape a child's growth. Key topics include prenatal development, early childhood milestones, family and cultural influences, and the transitions into adolescence.
