HMNS 2150 — - Parent and Child Relations
This course explores the parent-child relationship as it develops and evolves within diverse family systems and reviews strategies for working with parents. Special attention is placed upon the various developmental stages that both children and parents pass through and, in turn, how children and parents influence and challenge each other's development. Selected topics may include the impact that various parenting and behavioral control styles can have on children, how such issues as culture, social class, children's temperament, divorce, abuse, special needs and parental mental health can impact parenting and child well- being. Students develop an understanding of how to assess parent-child relations and review behavioral strategies for working with parents in educational and social settings.
