"Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world" -Nelson Mandela

When I sit back and think enduring my career; so many thoughts are running through my head. Being able to make a difference in someone else life is very important. The aspects of child development is ongoing. I have learn overtime child are the eyes of our future; it is important for them to see bright and successful. During my research I have discovered many resources that will help educators and parents ensure child develop is effective.  I am always willing to go above and beyond my duties to ensure my children are grasping the new knowledge they may need.
 

"Child development refers to the biological, psychological and emotional changes that occur in human beings between birth and the end of adolescence, as the individual progresses from dependency to increasing autonomy. It is a continuous process with a predictable sequence yet having a unique course for every child. It does not progress at the same rate and each stage is affected by the preceding types of development. Because these developmental changes may be strongly influenced by genetic factors and events during prenatal life, genetics and prenatal development are usually included as part of the study of child development. Related terms include developmental psychology, referring to development throughoutthe lifespan, and pediatrics, the branch of medicine relating to the care of children.

Developmental change may occur as a result of genetically-controlled processes known as maturation, or as a result of environmental factors and learning,

but most commonly involves an interaction between the two. It may also occur as a result of human nature and our ability to learn from our environment."
