Child Development 101-Virtual
Description
Many parents feel concerned about their child’s development. It can be difficult to know if your child’s behavior is reflective of typical development, or something to be concerned about. This training covers some of the famous psychological theories and theorists in the field of childhood development, such as Erik Erikson, Jean Piaget, and Sigmund Freud. Participants will learn typical developmental milestones for each age group from birth to 18 years of age. It will cover a few of the most common causes of developmental delays in childhood and how to recognize the signs, as well as the impact of trauma on child development, particularly for those in foster care.
