Why Study Child Psychology?

All over the world, child psychologists fulfil a role of unique importance.  Working with children and families from all backgrounds, child psychologists make a positive contribution to the lives of those they work with.  Some approach child psychologists only upon detecting a suspected developmental issue in their children. Others take a more proactive approach, consulting with child psychologists to ensure the strong and healthy development of their kids.  In both instances, child psychologists become integral parts of the lives of the children and families they encounter.  To build the skills, knowledge and confidence to work closely with children is to enjoy extraordinary career prospects on a global basis.  With demand for qualified childcare professionals at an all-time high, there’s never been a better time to study for a Level 2 Child Psychology Certificate!

Introduction to Child Psychology

The first unit presents a detailed introduction to the child psychology profession, outlining its functions, objectives and limitations. The duties and responsibilities of child psychologists are also discussed, along with a breakdown of the various developmental stages every child goes through.

The Formation of Attachments

A fascinating introduction to attachment theory follows in unit two, which examines the formation of attachments between children and the people they share their lives with.  Various factors and influences that can affect the formation of attachments are also presented and examined.

Consequences of Attachment Breakdowns

The investigation of attachment theory continues into the third unit, which focuses on the potential consequences of attachment breakdowns.  Candidates learn how breakdowns in attachments affect various aspects of a child’s development, while considering the potential impact of foster care and bereavement during childhood.

Personality Development

Bringing the course to a close, unit four details how children gradually begin building their own unique personalities throughout childhood.  The concept of character development is also discussed, along with how a child’s personality and character can be affected by a variety of direct and indirect influences.
