Session 7: Learning Lifespan Development: Watching Real Kids (and their Parents) Grow Up (July 31-Aug 1)

Egg Harbor, WI US
July 31, 2017 to August 1, 2017

Dr. Fox will review basic theories of normal lifespan development, illustrating these concepts with short video clips of her own son and daughter growing up, as well as of her father as he reaches the end of his life.  The videos bring these concepts to life and are intended to stimulate discussion and promote learning.  Emphasis is placed on useful wisdom that can be gleaned from these theories, to inform our efforts at parenting, and raising happy, well-adjusted, successful children.  To maximize learning, we will use both topical and lifespan approaches, utilizing video clips throughout the course.  We will review major developmental theories to provide participants with the broad concepts and then discuss challenges of old age, end of life issues, and losing a loved one.  Finally, we will switch to a chronological approach, integrating the theories into each age and phase.

Monday Principles of learning milestones; Definitions of “normal”;  Overview of developmental theories: Attachment, emotional, identity formation, psychosexual, psychosocial, cognitive, and moral development, theory of mind/empathy, behavioral and social learning, parenting

Tuesday Group discussion regarding attachment and loss at end-of-life, utilizing Dr. Fox’s video documentary about her father’s decision-making at age 97;  Integration of theories by age:  Infant, toddler, preschool, middle childhood, preadolescence, adolescence, and young adult.  Optional: If participants have brought their children, we might interview them, time permitting!
