Child Development and Contexts of Child Psychology

Child Development refers to the changes that occur in human beings between birth and the end of  as the individual progresses from dependency to increasing.Every child is unique in his or her own way.Yet there are certain similarities that children share with each other.When we think of development, what comes to mind?If you are like most people,you probably think about the internal factors that influence how a child grows,such as genetic and personal characteristics.However,development involves much more than the influences that arise from within an individual.Environmental factors such as social relationships and the culture in which we live also play essential roles.Some of the major contexts that we need to consider in our analysis of child psychology include:
