Welcome to the place to find and share resources for the OER textbook Understanding the Whole Child: Prenatal Development through Adolescence (original title: Child Growth and Development - ECE 101).

Here are the links to the textbook:

Generic/Non-COC version (a derivative):
The original COC version
The book has also been added to the LibreText platform (which offers an LTI that will upload the content into your course management system, such as Canvas, in an iframe). This platform also allows users to easily customize and remix content to make their "own" book. You can view this book at: https://socialsci.libretexts.org/Bookshelves/Human_Development/Book%3A_Child_Growth_and_Development_(Paris%2C_Ricardo%2C_Rymond_and_Johnson)

The book has been translated into Spanish by the Child Development Training Consortium. I have attached their original PDF and Word and then also turned them into a generic version that does not have the COC cover

Sharing is Caring

One of the best parts of the Open movement is that it fosters potentially large scale collaboration.
