Childhoods in Cultural Context is a course that teaches people various aspects of child development in cultural contexts. As mentioned in the Foreword, the study of child development in cultural contexts is of great value for people who are working with children because it helps them understand this age group from a more dynamic perspective. Child development cannot be taught apart form the cultural contexts and vice versa. This course reminds students to value of children from different backgrounds and reminds them to see the world through children's eyes. This course is integrated with other HCD courses, particularly with the theological foundations of childhood. It is suitable for young adults and older (ages 18+) and it is a downloadable book in PDF format.
