Childhood Psychology

Are you interested in how younger individuals think, act, and feel? In this class, we will discuss topics related to the psychology of childhood.

Each week I will present a scientific theory and recent research paper in the class. Learners will have the opportunity to think critically and discuss their thoughts with the class. 

In my classes, there are lots of ways to participate. Some learners prefer to raise their hands and talk, others like to use the chat, and some learners like to listen. I urge my learners to participate whichever way that makes them feel comfortable. 

Each week I will also provide a worksheet. Learners are welcome to send me their answers and I will give them feedback. 

Here's the list of upcoming lessons.
