As future practitioners, it is imperative that students gain a thorough understanding of childhood from a global perspective. This course will focus on normal developmental processes which occur in children of different cultures with special emphasis on how childhood is viewed globally.

Students will be exposed to the political, economic, social and cultural events impacting childhood.
