Child psychology is the study of child behavior, development, and growth patterns from childhood through adolescence. It focuses on understanding students to improve teaching methods and curriculum, evaluate testing, diagnose and solve problems, and strengthen teacher-student relationships. The scope of child psychology includes stages of growth, environmental influences, social interactions, mental processes, and individual differences between children. Ultimately, it aims to describe and explain all facets of child development.
