Infant/Toddler/Preschool/Famly

Catalog description

This course is about infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and families during the first four years of life. The primary goal of the course is for students to develop knowledge of infant, toddler and preschool development across individual differences and contexts. Attending to the contributions of familial and cultural contexts, as well as, the child’s contributions this course considers both theoretically prescribed developmental trajectories and the profound individual differences that each human being presents. Students are expected to reconceptualize traditional theories in light of the real issues faced by children and families across contexts.
