Curriculum
Children are the most vulnerable members of any society. When appropriately raised, they will benefit the community in the best possible way. When discussing their upbringing, we must therefore cater to their physical and psychological needs so they may develop sound minds. Equally important, individuals should consider the psychological and mental development areas during children's pre-school years. During this period, children rapidly adapt to the changes in their surroundings and their observation and comprehension skills are at an all-time high, impacting their development. Parents and teachers must thus have a basic knowledge and understanding of children's psychological, emotional, social and cognitive development during this age to contribute to healthy growth.
This introductory child psychology course will help you understand this important and fascinating field. It discusses the child's overall psychological upbringing, cognitive development, genetics, personality and prenatal development. We also discuss several notable and common psychological disorders in children, along with the correct methods of approaching their struggles with these conditions. The topics examine the basic strategies while addressing the psychological needs of the children, the essential aspects of child psychology, different psychological problems in children and techniques designed to help children with psychological disorders. Students can take notes of important points for future reference while studying the course content.
These four topics come in a single module and include a summary to reinforce your learning. In addition, questions will help to strengthen your understanding. Gaining an accurate interpretation of what child psychology means for our society is a boost for anyone who wishes to immerse themselves in this vital pursuit of well-being and a better community. After completing this course successfully, all the participants will have the opportunity to obtain an Alison certificate. So do not wait any longer and engage yourself in this vital area of psychology.
