Child Growth and Develpment (MPTC Version)
This text is a presentation of how and why children grow, develop, and learn. We will look at how we change physically over time from conception through adolescence. We examine cognitive change, or how our ability to think and remember changes over the first decade or so of life. We will look at how our emotions, psychological state, and social relationships change throughout childhood and adolescence.
