Why study human development?
When studying human development, we find many misconceptions about child development. Child development involves the systematic changes that occur as we move from birth to young adulthood. Throughout this presentation, I will be discussing development from the ages of birth through ages twenty-five. One important reason to study children is the belief that experiences in childhood shape who we become in adulthood. We continue to learn more and more about how early experiences contribute to the way that each individual's brain develops. You may enjoy the interactions you have with children and want to understand them better, or your interest may be more scientific, with a focus on understanding the research that explains the process of development. Either way, take a moment to realize why you want to learn about children. You will find much of this information to be very useful and to your benefit.
