employment, education) and discuss them in relation to how they impact human
development. Your paper will be about 4-6 pages in length and have several parts: 1. A
description of either Federal or State policies (with citations) related to your topic. Include a
degree of historical background, indicating when the policy was initiated, by whom, and
why. 2. A discussion of conflicting viewpoints towards such policies. Make sure that this
discussion is research-based.3. Discussion of how these policies impact children and
families. Make sure that this discussion is research-based. Connect your discussion to
developmental concepts and theories. Remember that realities of adult caregivers will affect
children in their care. 4. Conclude your paper with a discussion of whether or not you feel
the policy you reviewed is effective and supportive of healthy outcomes for children and
families. Cite evidence for your conclusion. Make suggestions for new directions in policy.
