Investigating their own development from a biological, cognitive, and psycho-social perspective. The paper must include an APA formatted title and reference page, which is not included in the six page minimum requirement.

Suggested questions to consider answering throughout the paper (you certainly do not have to answer all of these):
Biological: Your mother’s pregnancy with you, genetic influences (what physical or personality traits do you believe you inherited from your parents?), nutrition, immunizations, brain development, physical activities, puberty/sexual maturation, illnesses, motor skills (fine and gross), sensory development, learning disabilities
Cognitive: Your development through Piaget’s stages, language development, Vygotsky’s theory, early educational experiences, memory development
Psychosocial: Emotional development, attachment to caregivers as infant, play, gender development, moral development, peer groups/peer pressure, relationships with parents as older child, drug use
