Child Psychology

Adult life, our behaviour, and the way we perceive the world, is fundamentally shaped by our early experiences and attachments in our informative years, which go on to form the blueprint for our adult relationships.  From birth, babies are encoding information about their environments, but when does life really begin?  Is it from birth, or can sensations, emotions and experiences be felt in the womb?  And if so, is that when memory begins to develop?  After a baby is born, learning begins in the apparent absence of language, but what happens inside the baby’s developing brain and mind?  Exploring the area of child psychology addresses these important questions.  In our observations and personal experiences we can monitor the behaviour of a developing baby into adolescence, and onward, into adult behaviours and relationships.

Offering a full understanding of child development from conception into adult life, this two-part course, available in either audio or video format, offers an excellent foundation for anyone wishing to learn about core principles and theories in child psychology at their own pace. Uniquely combining comprehensive information from psychological and psychoanalytical studies, by taking this course you will learn about the important psychological stages of development, the evolving psychological world of the newborn baby from prenatal experience into adolescence, Bowlby’s highly influential Attachment Theory,  Piaget’s theories on Learning & Egocentrism, Parent-Child Relationship Formation, Play Therapy & Symbolism, Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, Sex Identity & Gender Formation, Freud’s Psychosexual Stages of Development, Self-fulfilling Life Scripts, Ego Formation, and the essential ingredients for healthy child psychological & emotional development and stability.
