Understanding The Principles of

Child Development & Learning

How is it that babies unable to do much of anything transform into kindergarteners able to do almost everything?

In this unit, we'll take a quick tour of how children grow and development, the challenges some children face along the way, and how what you do with children contributes to the realization of their potential.

Think about children you know. Think about how these children grew from babies to bigger babies or bigger children and what milestones were met along the way.
