"Early child development sets the foundation for lifelong learning, behavior, and health. The experiences children have in early childhood shape the brain and the child's capacity to learn, to get along with others, and to respond to daily stresses and challenges. Child psychologists can help you to understand the difference. Understanding a child's normal and abnormal psychological patterns can help parents understand how best to communicate and connect with their child, teach their child coping mechanisms to manage emotions, and help their child progress and thrive at every new stage of development. Child development has become an important area of scientific work. Many fields are involved in understanding the child's growth and development. Child development is therefore, an interdisciplinary field of expertise and research. This book equips you with the introduction and different methods of studying child psychology. And gives the differences between the child psychology and the developmental psychology. Child psychology is one of the most important branches of applied psychology.
The edition is organized into nine chapters. This book describes the general historical trends in child psychology in the practical applications of Child Psychology. It describes the methods of observing child behavior and covers stages of child development including the development of brain." -- Back cover
