Description
You want every child in your care to grow up as happy and healthy as possible. But with so many factors to consider - from academic success to gross motor skills - how do you know where to begin?
This course will help you understand two different models of healthy development: Erikson's Stages of Emotional Development and Maslow's Theory of Human Needs. You'll learn about the basic stages all children move through in Erikson's theory and the hierarchy of basic needs of all human beings in Maslow's theory. Both models help explain how children develop and affect the way you care for children.
This course will be divided into two parts:
- Part 1 - Erikson's Stages of Emotional Development
- Part 2 - Maslow's Theory of Human Needs
