Child Development explores the physical, social, emotional, and intellectual changes in individuals from conception through adolescence. Learning about children enhances self-awareness. Topics include physical, cognitive, and social-emotional domains, as well as the influences of maturation, environment, and socialization. Key scholars such as Freud, Erikson, Piaget, and Binet have made significant contributions to the field. Development occurs in stages and is influenced by both nature and nurture. Play is crucial for physical, intellectual, emotional, and social growth.
