Chapter 4: Development Across the Lifespan
From Birth to Adulthood - Psychology Across the Life Span

In this episode, Professor Jeff Hastings walks us through the incredible journey of human development - from the very first moments of life to late adulthood. We’ll explore how our bodies grow, how our minds evolve, and how early experiences can shape the way we see ourselves and others. From prenatal development and attachment theory to Piaget, Erikson, parenting styles, and early trauma, this episode lays the foundation for understanding how we become who we are - and why it matters for your life today.
