The document discusses the cognitive, social, and language development of a child. It prompts the reader to relate what they have learned in class about aspects of human development and reflect on their own child's behavior, milestones reached, challenges encountered, interests, and the context shaping the child, including decisions made by the parent. The reader can choose to focus on either a short period, like the first year, or a longer period, from birth to adolescence, of their child's development.
