Interpreting the intellectual,
emotional
and
physical
development of a child and
applying this to their develop
ment is explored in the classes
“Living with Your Baby” and
“Living with Your Toddler,” of
fered this fall at the College.
The instructors are well
trained and have babies or tod
dlers of their own.
Sue Aronson and Doris
Aasland are both pediatric nur
ses and Kim Lee Kawai is a
child development specialist.
“There are aspects of raising
babies and toddlers which, if
you are not trained, you don’t
notice. If you know them, it
makes it more exciting,” said
Eleanor Stubbs, Chairperson
of Home economics education,
and organizer of the program.
Some of the subjects that will
be discussed in the classes are
nutrition and weaning in
cluding the growth of the baby.
“Babies and toddlers grow at
different rates. In the class
parents can gain a better un
derstanding of the normal
growth rate for the individual
child,” Stubbs said.
“It is an exciting time to be
raising a child. It has been
discovered that the baby and
toddler can grasp more than
parents realized and are
capable of achieving a lot more
than was thought possible in
past years,” said Aronson, in
structor for the class ‘Living
with Your Toddler.’
The participation of both
parents and children' in the
classes make it interesting as
toddlers are busily exploring
new play things: Other toddlers
and parents are involved in
seminars and observation
periods of the toddlers.
Your
Living
Baby/Toddler offers paren-
ts a better understanding of
how their children grow.
Much of class time is spent
“observing” the children at
play. The class also teaches
that raising children can be
a rewarding experience.
