Developmental Psychology

Childhood is a critical period marked by rapid growth and transformation across several developmental domains. In this post, we explore the key aspects of physical, mental, and emotional development during childhood.

Physical development encompasses a child’s growth in size, strength, and motor skills, from learning to crawl and walk to mastering complex movements. Mental development focuses on cognitive abilities, including memory, problem-solving, and the acquisition of knowledge, which shape how children understand and interact with their environment. Lastly, emotional development involves the ability to recognize, express, and manage feelings, forming the foundation for healthy relationships and emotional well-being.
