Overview

Child development is the study of biological, emotional, mental, and behavioural changes that occur in humans from birth to adulthood. It is a critical field of study to understand how and why children grow and develop into their adult selves. An understanding of child development is important for parents, educators, and healthcare professionals, as it provides insight into how children think, feel, learn, and interact with their environment. Child development research has been used to inform educational and parenting practices, as well as treatments for developmental disorders.
