  • FCS 3240: Family Belief Systems

    3.00 Credits
    University of Utah

    Why can't we all just get along and agree with one another? Due to our beliefs about ourselves and others, we usually think we are right and they are wrong when we disagree. We are not wired to agree with those who see things differently. We have to learn how to accept and understand those who don't believe as we do. We study beliefs, brain-based cognitive biases, open-mindedness, and ethical perspectives in order to better understand the diversity of personal relationships and families in society.

    The first course in a two-course series that provides an in-depth examination of typical and atypical infant and early childhood development through a culturally-relevant, relationship-focused lens. This course will allow students to uncover developmentally-relevant risk factors, and learn more about how early life stress and trauma can impact biopsychosocial development in infancy and early childhood. Specifically, we will review the impacts of parental psychopathology, early life stress effects on the infant brain, and physiological, emotional, and cognitive development. Students will be able to articulate how early life stress and exposure to parental psychopathology 'get under the skin' to affect behavioral and mental health outcomes.

  • FCS 3370: Parenting & Cultures

    3.00 Credits
    University of Utah

    This course considers parenting practices across diverse cultures around the world and within the United States. The interdisciplinary approach examines how evolution and geographic, political, religious, cultural , and economic characteristics of the community affect specific childrearing approaches and practices. The course also addresses whether there are universal patterns of parenting, or near-universal patterns, and examines which practices are indisputably variable. In trying to understand parenting practices, we will also examine parenting practices in our own community through a service learning project. The project will involve working with one of a number of agencies. These agencies include United for Kids, a family resource program which empowers parents in the NW quadrant of SLC, International Rescue Committee, And Early Literacy First. (Service Learning)
