Child Psychology
Children are delightful, fascinating and sometimes frustrating creatures. If you love working with children, or have children of you own - and want to understand them better - our Child Psychology course is for you.
You'll gain valuable insights into child behaviour, learn how children develop psychologically as they grow, and understand the factors (such as learning, parenting styles, reinforcement, and genetic makeup) that influence their behaviour and thinking. Students of counselling or pscychology will also be better prepared to understand childhood influences on later adult behaviour.
