#   H610: Parenting and Child Development across Cultures 

 





 Semester:   Fall 

 

 

 

The purpose of this course is to consider the ways in which culture shapes parenting and child development. The vast majority of research on child development comes from Western societies, yet by examining children and families in diverse cultures we can gain a greater understanding of (1) the sources and extent of variation in parenting beliefs and practices; and (2) the consequences of cultural differences in child rearing on children's development.
