Why Study Child Psychology?

Child psychologists and childcare specialists enjoy the most fulfilling and rewarding careers.  The field of child psychology seeks to better understand the mechanics and the development of a child’s mind, throughout all developmental stages during childhood.  Qualified child psychologists dedicate their careers to improving the lives of the children and families they work with.  All with the added bonus of limitless employment opportunities worldwide and high earnings potential.  As demand for qualified childcare specialists continues to grow at record-pace, now really is the time to consider a career in child psychology.

This exclusive Level 1 Certificate in Child Psychology could transform your dreams of a rewarding childcare career into a reality.  Course content is distributed over a series of three units, each of which concludes with an online assessment you tutor will mark and return with constructive feedback:

Introduction to Child Psychology

The course begins by providing candidates with a detailed overview of child psychology, both in terms of the profession itself and the wider concept.  Typical duties and responsibilities in the field of child psychology are discussed, along with the various developmental stages throughout childhood and the objectives of child psychology.

The Formation of Attachments

A fascinating introduction to attachment theory follows in the second unit, which explores the bonds established between children and those around them during different developmental stages.  Some of the more common issues and influences that can affect the formation of attachments are also discussed.

Consequences of Attachment Breakdowns

Bringing the course to a close, unit three investigates the extent to which attachment breakdowns can have a negative impact on a child’s development.  Some of the more common causes of attachment breakdowns are presented and discussed, including bereavement and being placed in foster care.
