Name of the textbook: The Life Span: Human Development for Helping Professionals, Fourth Edition

write about what you perceive about this topic, not what the books says, but what it means in your life, to you and your family, about human beings, the world, etc. This reflection should not be more than 2 pages long. I simply want to have the opportunity to hear your thoughts in an informal way.
Question
As helping professional we must use science when working with others. The book discusses a gap between science and practice as it relates to Human Development. What does this “gap” mean to you and where have you seen the gap in your own work?
