Students will have the opportunity to explore how families operate as an ecosystem and contribute and connect to the larger global ecosystem. There is a focus on the nature of personal and interpersonal skills as they apply to group dynamics and personal development at home, at school and in the labour market.
During this course students are required to take home the RealCare Infant Baby Simulator. This smart baby uses wireless programming to track and report on caregiver behaviours, including care events, mishandling actions, time in a car seat, and clothing changes.
