Child Growth and Development

This one semester course encourages an understanding of all aspects of children’s physical, intellectual, emotional, social, and moral development. Growth & Development will be followed from the prenatal period through school age. Students will observe children of various ages to better understand growth and development. In addition to concepts of child development, this course will teach skills to prepare students for care-giving and future parenting. This course also includes the ""Baby Think It Over"" doll simulator whereby students will simulate a care-giving experience outside the classroom.
