Online diploma with Mr. John Crimmins
Diploma in child psycology.
“It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken adults.”
F.Douglas
Children do not deal with situations in the same way adults do because they do not process information the same way. In fact they do not have similar expressive or reasoning skills. Thus by understanding the child psychology, you can better understand children and even equip them to become well-adjusted and able to express their views. The Diploma in Child Psychology can help you find out about the nature and development of children.
Our short-term course provides you with an opportunity to increase your knowledge that in turn can help you face the changing challenges of parenting. The Diploma in Child psychology is relevant for both new and experienced parents and for anybody in teaching or day-care service of young children.
