Hello,

Welcome to my blog, created for my Child Psychology Class, PSY 2301, section 1731, at The New York City College of Technology, instructor Prof. Pa Her.

This blog is created as my class Individual Project, and will be designed to meet all requirements of the assignment.

The blog will be updated weekly (approximately), and I will try to roughly correlate topics in my blog with our classroom discussion.  I plan to choose one topic or concept each week that particularly interests me and expand upon it with my own thoughts and ideas.  I will generally base it on my own experience and on my home life, as I have two young children currently at very exciting stages in their development (5 years old and 4 months old).

Examples of different topics might be:  describing how I observe certain common developmental stages playing out with my children, comparing generational differences between my own childhood and my children, and cross-cultural studies of development.  I am particularly interested in cross-cultural studies of childhood development, as I have travelled widely and both of my children are of mixed (American Caucasian and Asian Indian) heritage.

Wherever possible I will try to provide links and references to supporting websites and articles, both scholarly and from popular publications and websites.

I hope you will enjoy.
