Long Description | Three-year-old Kwara'ae children in Oceania act as caregivers of their younger siblings, but in the UK, it is an offense to leave a child under age 14 ears without adult supervision. In the Efe community in Zaire, infants routinely use machetes with safety and some skill, although U.S. middle-class adults often do not trust young children with knives. What explains these marked differences in the capabilities of these children? Until recently, traditional understandings of human development held that a child's development is universal and that children have characteristics and skills that develop independently of cultural processes. Barbara Rogoff argues, however, that human development must be understood as a cultural process, not simply a biological or psychological one. Individuals develop as members of a community, and their development can only be fully understood by examining the practices and circumstances of their communities. |

Finding the expiration date of your product
You simply cannot find the expiration date using the product barcode. We get asked quite often what the expiration date is for this product or that one. Put simply, there is no way to know that based on the barcode. A product barcode lasts many years. Products that expire have an expiration date printed on the package. If you are concerned that your product may be expired and there is no date on the package, you will need to check with the manufacturer to get the information you are looking for.
