One important part of an online class is building a successful learning community. Students usually find it easier to communicate with peers when they know a bit about each other. In your initial post, answer the following questions in a minimum of 200 words:

1. Briefly introduce yourself (name, major, current work, hobbies, etc.)

2. What prompted you to take PSYC 2210: Child Growth and Development?

3. What do you hope to gain or learn from taking this course?

4. A course in development focuses on the physical, cognitive (thinking/memory), social (peers), and emotional changes that occur. In what ways do you think your family has influenced your development in one of these areas?
