Importance of Understanding Your Child

 As a child, do you remember reaching out to your parents for all your small needs? A baby cries and the mother is expected to know what it needs! Children depend on their parents a lot, from their smallest needs to their biggest problems. They look up to their parents for support, guidance, and affirmations on their actions. Therefore, as a parent it becomes important that you understand the needs of your child, to guide and nurture them effectively, as they grow and mature. 

Child psychology focuses not only on the physical growth of the child, but also with their mental, emotional, and social developments, throughout the prenatal to adolescence stage. Most parents encounter a few bumps in their road as their children grow from being a baby to a teen to an adult. This is where a professional psychologist can support the parents to learn and grow with their children.

A good child psychologist provides sessions on how to deal with problems like Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Anxiety, Autism/Aspergers, Bedwetting, Depression, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, and others. Understanding what makes a child tick is an enormous task, that involves studying the cultural, socioeconomic, and social contexts that might influence a child. This makes the study of child psychology both wide and deep. 

The goal is to study how various influences combine and interact to make children who they are and to engage with that information effectively. This engagement will improve parenting, education, child care, psychotherapy, and other areas that benefit children.
