The situation in mental hospitals is a mixed bag. Some things are better, others worse than in the past. Hospitals are smaller and not human warehouses. It is tough to get admitted and patients are discharged as soon as possible to a less restrictive level of care. So, being sent to a

I'm covering developmental in intro next week, and would like to include video of my 2-year old daughter to illustrate course concepts. Do any of you have ideas for kid video tricks that I might try with her? I've thought of conservation of mass and volume, and perhaps getting her to engage in

You can ask her some gender identity questions. How are girls and boys different? What are you? Can you change when you grow up (e.g., grow up to be a daddy)? Traci Giuliano wrote: I'm covering developmental in intro next week, and would like to include video of my 2-year old daughter to

The NOVA film, called The Wild Child is very informative, though a little tedious with the whining of Susan Curtiss and some of the other researchers about the ethics of a colleague. The amount of one-upsmanship and greed for scientific recognition was distracting - and horrifying. Students seem

I think making a video of your daughter and showing it to your class is a great idea. I made a video of my own daughter just for the developmental section of the intro course and the students seem to really like it. As a parent, it's pretty gratifying to hear an entire class sigh, Aw! at the

I would include some language items as well. Elicit some speech samples by asking her to tell a story based on a picture or book, talk about toys, etc. Here you can look for examples of over-regularization, over-generalization, etc. You might also do a set up with novel words,
