I found chapters 2 and 3 in our textbook pretty interesting
this week. My best friend had her son almost 3 years ago and I got to be there
from the beginning through the present and it is an amazing process, although
scary at times. When you start to think about how much development a child goes
through in just a short amount of time, and how long adults go without rapid
development, it’s no wonder children need naps all the time! “At 3 years of
age, for example, the brain has achieved 80% of it’s ultimate weight. (Kail
& Cavanaugh, pg. 96).
It also seemed a bit overwhelming to me how much testing
they can do before you even have a child. As someone who would like kids one
day, I began wondering if it would be better to know before, or just let nature
take it’s course? Personally, I think I would opt out of the testing. It would
not change my decision about having my child. What do you guys think?
