Child and Adolescent Development

  Create a blog post that introduces child and adolescent development and the value gained in studying these parts of the lifespan. Imagine this blog post would be for the website of Division 7: Developmental Psychology of the American Psychological Association. Thus, the language will be more professional than a typical blog post and should include citations to your three scholarly resources. In your blog entry, be sure to address the following: Define childhood and adolescent development, including the ages associated with each. Present an argument that explains why people should study and understand childhood and adolescent development. Identify and explain one current developmental issue in childhood development and adolescent development (e.g., what technology has meant for your understanding of brain development in childhood, or the role of social media in adolescent identity development)
