Child psychology, also called child
development, the study of the psychological
processes of children and, specifically, how
these processes differ from those of adults,
how they develop from birth to the end of
adolescence, and how and why they differ
from one child to the next.
Child psychology is one of the branches of
general psychology which deals with studying
behavoral development of the child.
1. Philosophical treaties on education in
which children were studied only indirectly
and
2. Direct daily observation of children in which
they were studied at first hand.
No one works harder than teachers. They
dedicate their professional (and often their
personal) lives to making sure the children
they serve are as well-equipped and taken
care of as any. Teachers have a lot of
responsibility, are underpaid, and don’t have
enough time in the day to do everything they
need to do.
 1. All behavior is purposeful and goal-
directed.
If we, as adults, can get past what we see and
understand the reasoning behind the
behavior, we will be much more successful in
helping children understand their behavior
and develop prosocial coping skills. Behaviors
serve a purpose.
The way that a person generally perceives
different activities or actions is called their
style of living (lifestyle), or is also referred to
as “how a person goes about going about.”
What influences and shapes a person’s
lifestyle? A person’s birth order, the rules in
their family of origin (both spoken and
unspoken), family roles, and home
environment.
 Everything in the brain is plastic; it is
changeable, moldable. No one’s brains are
changing more than children’s. Every
experience creates new neural pathways and
connects neurons to one another, shaping
our personality and the way to perceive or
respond to external stimuli. There are some
areas of personality that are unchangeable,
but for the most part, it’s plastic.
 That child who comes into your class afraid and
lonely because of abuse; that kid who is just
plain angry because his mom left; that little girl
who believes no one loves her because daddy
said so — this is where teachers come in. Every
single interaction you have with a child, every
experience you give, every field trip you go on,
every time you hug that little boy who needs it,
every time you look little Suzy in the eye and tell
her she is special — it makes a difference. And
science backs it up.
 1. Development changes and stages of a child
2. Effects of environment on the development of
the child.
3. Maturation and heriditary effects
4. Interaction of a child with his / her society
According to crow and crow, " child psychology is
a scientific study of the individual from his pre -
natal beginning through the early stages of his
adolescence development". Thus to study and
understand the first 12 to 14 years of human
behaviour is the main subject matter of child
psychology.
Discipline in schools is an essential element
in the socialization of children, in the
formation of their characters and in the
process of education. This requires the use of
certain controls which, while not threatening
children’s independence, self-esteem and
self-confidence, will enable them to appraise
their behaviour rationally in terms of what is
right and wrong or appropriate and
inappropriate.
