It just feels great to be marking all my textbooks as read. I really liked this class. Textbook was a little boring though and the chapters were loooooong.

Anyone who has children, wishes to have children, or in any way associates with, teaches, or works with children, should read this book. It teaches the basics about the interrelationships between parents and children throughout the lifespan, as well as a summary of a number of issues parents, children, and family face.
