HOMEMAKING EDUCATION III

 CHILD DEVELOPMENT AND FAMILY
 RELATIONS

 OVERVIEW

 Child development and family relations in homemaking edu-
cation should supply the training needed to give intelligent
guidance to children. It is designed for those who are interested
in the child and his place in the home and community.
 An important aspect of the study is the relationship of the
child to the members of the family. Consideration should be
given to the responsibilities of parenthood and relationships be-
tween parents and children. To make this course most profitable
it is essential that actual experiences with children be provided
rather than substituting experiences secured through the use of
text and notebooks.
