Introduction to Child Psychology3:02
Explore how child psychology tracks behavior from infancy to adolescence, assesses development, attention, and language, and reveals how factors, anxiety, and home, school, and peers shape growth.

Cognitive Development of a Child3:55
Explore the four stages of cognitive development: sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational, and formal operational. Understand how infants learn through grasping and sucking, language, and logical and abstract tasks.
Socio-Emotional Development of a Child6:48
Explore how attachment theory, psychodynamic theory, Skinner's behavioral theory, and social constructivism shape a child's socio-emotional development. Examine Erikson's psychosocial stages from trust to integrity.
Socio-cultural Factors in a Child’s Development2:43
Explore how socio-cultural factors shape a child’s development, including environment, language, culture, access to facilities, and community resources that influence social, cognitive, and behavioral growth.

Parenting in Child Development2:43
Explore how responsive, caring parenting shapes child development by building trust, promoting independent decision-making, and emotional well-being, while abusive patterns risk anxiety, depression, and social withdrawal.
Schooling Environment in the Development of a Child4:15
Shape a child’s problem-solving, confidence, and social skills in the schooling environment as teachers and peers interact, encouraging interests that may guide future professions.
Self-esteem and Confidence2:15
Caregiver affection and stability foster high self-esteem and confidence, while lack of positive responses can lead to rejection, self-doubt, and reluctance to participate.
Attachment and Relationship Building2:16
Explore how early attachment and relationship building in the first two years shape a child’s mental health, self-worth, social functioning, and risk of depression or anti-social behavior.

Behavioral Problems in Children2:53
Identify the multifactorial causes of behavioral problems in children—gender, prematurity, disability, family and social environment—and how licensed child psychologists diagnose and treat them with CBT, including Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy.
Bullying and Child Abuse2:21
Explore how lack of family and social support fosters bullying and child abuse, and how psychologists diagnose through talking and rapport, using CBT and anti-anxiety drugs for treatment.
Depression in Children3:07
Depression in children stems from life events and family history. Diagnosis by a licensed child psychologist, based on behavior, identifies no self-worth and suicidal ideation; treatment includes antidepressants and cbt.
Separation and Children2:06
Explore how separation anxiety affects children, causing fear, disturbed sleep, and reluctance to attend school, with diagnostic cues and social withdrawal, plus counselling and anti-anxiety medications, guided by licensed professionals.
Stress in Children2:08
Identify common stress triggers in children, such as abuse, school pressure, loss, or new environments. Seek evaluation from a licensed psychologist or psychiatrist for diagnosis and treatment.
Grief in Children1:42
Identify grief in children through depressive mood, mood swings, withdrawal, and reluctance after a loss. Seek psychologist if needed; consider rational emotive behavioral therapy and antidepressants to support school performance.
Child Therapy and Counselling1:18
