Overview 

Child Psychology helps us understand how children think, feel, and grow from their earliest years through to adolescence. It’s a subject that matters to anyone working with young people, and it gives real insight into why children behave the way they do at each stage of life.

This Child Psychology course starts with an introduction to child psychology, then explores attachment and how relationships form in early childhood. You’ll look at the effects of separation and loss on attachment, and the wider factors that shape a child’s development. From there, you’ll study cognitive, social, and emotional development, along with personality, intellectual growth, and the stages of language development.

You’ll also explore moral development and how children learn right from wrong, alongside common problems seen in infancy, childhood, and adolescence. It’s a thorough, well-structured course that builds a genuine understanding of how children develop, one stage at a time.

Whether you’re aiming for a role in child support, education, or family services, or simply want to understand children better, this course gives you a strong, accredited foundation in child psychology you can apply in everyday practice.
