Hey, I am teaching Human Development in this coming semester (Winter 2018/19)!
I’ll have to say, this is my favorite subject, because I often think that my expertise is in parenting. I have witnessed my son’s development from being born at birth to now being an 11-year-old tween.
I will verify the psychological theories listed in the textbooks with my everyday life personal experience as a mother raising a kid for 11 years and discuss how I view the education system in Hong Kong is doing in influencing the development of my child.
