Chadwick Blackwell has instructed many courses on child growth and development at the
university level. His drive to inform others about child mentality is astounding and has
influenced many of his students to further their education in the topic. Chadwick Blackwell is adamant that we can conquer problems and challenges of tomorrow’s world if we focus our energy on children today. The way our world influences their brain development is so powerful that to ignore the subconscious decisions we make in their presence would be to falter in a tremendous way.
While at the University of Virginia, Chadwick Blackwell taught a course on Children’s Learning which not only focused on learning principles but also on the biology of a child’s mind; both are massive contributors to learning development.
“A child’s mind is no different than an adult’s when it comes to thought process and decision-making. The main problem with adult’s is their over-thinking of problems,” claims Chadwick Blackwell. “The main problem with children is their hasty decision making; perhaps we can find a balance between these two polar opposites and make less mistakes when it comes to daily challenges.”
For two years, Chadwick Blackwell taught at Blue Ridge Community College. During this time he taught a handful of courses simultaneously and focused almost all of his energy on his work. Those courses included: Human Growth and Development, Child Development, Introduction to Psychology, and Principles of Psychology. Chadwick Blackwell says that it was through this dense schedule that he channeled his motivation from being a student, and delved further into his field of expertise than he ever had before.
If you want to really explore the depths of your work, Chadwick Blackwell advises immersing yourself entirely for a brief span of time until you’re living and dreaming the material. His work was child psychology and after his two year heavy work load was through, Chadwick Blackwell found himself missing the time spent in his research. This was the key to researching even more. To uncover your possibilities, you must test your boundaries.
