What are you looking for? Child psychology. 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 development is a process every child goes through. This process involves learning and mastering skills like sitting, walking, talking, skipping, and tying shoes. Children learn these skills, called developmental milestones, during predictable time periods. Children develop skills in five main areas of development: 1  Cognitive Development. This is the child's ability to learn and solve problems. 2  Social and Emotional Development. This is the child's ability to interact with others, including helping themselves and self-control. 3  Speech and Language Development.
