This week was 2 chapters to read and a few other separate readings along with a few videos.
The discussion board wants you to compare and contrast two human growth and development theories and discuss empirical support along with discussing research on spiritual development and how it can be connected to the other areas of development (physical, emotional, and social).
The Foundations and Theories of Human Development quiz I received a 20/20 and it talks about human development theories.
Until next week,
