H-611 Moral Adults: Moral Children
Richard Weissbourd
This course explores how children's moral capacities develop in their relationships with adults. While the primary focus of the course is on the parent-child relationship, students will also examine how teachers, sports coaches and other key adults shape moral growth. Throughout the course, students will examine salient race, class, and cultural differences in parenting practices and beliefs, in how moral qualities develop and are expressed, and in the obstacles children face to developing important moral qualities. Attention will be given to interventions and programs that positively shape parent-child, teacher-student, and coach-athlete relationships.
