7 key ideas to understand child psychology

• Fundamental ideas that help to understand the way
  of thinking and feeling of the little ones.
• Child psychology is a fascinating field of
  research and intervention, as well as being one
  of the most important.
• Knowing better or worse the way of behaving,
  thinking and feeling of the little ones can have
  very important implications in their physical and
  mental development. Not surprisingly, childhood
  is a stage in which we are especially sensitive
  to what happens around us, and if we do not have
  the knowledge or proper supervision parents and
  guardians should be aware that there may be
  severe consequences.
• For this reason, in the following lines, we will
  see a selection of fundamental ideas belonging to
  the world of child psychology, with which it is

• 7 keys to better understanding child psychology
• These are several fundamental ideas that are
  worth knowing as parents, guardians or education
  professionals when helping children to develop.
• 1. Children are not incomplete adults
• One of the most erroneous ways of understanding
  what childhood is is to believe that boys and
  girls are like adults who lack components.It is
  much more appropriate and realistic to understand
  that they have their own way of thinking and
  feeling, and that despite the fact that as they
  grow their minds will evolve , they are already
  "complete" people by themselves they create
  their own explanations about what that they do
  not know, they develop their own way of playing
  and relating, creating their codes of behavior in
  all areas of life, etc.
• 2. Childhood is not a race to learn
• There are those who strive for their children to
  learn as much as possible in the shortest
  possible time. This is a mistake In childhood,
  the possibility of enjoying free time,
  socializing and playing are essential, as well as
  constituting an inexhaustible source of learning
  carried out spontaneously.

• 3. The references of the children are the rest of
  the children
• Another key idea of child psychology is that as
  adults who raise them, give them love and help
  educate them, our role is very important in terms
  of promoting the good development of children.
  However, the vast majority of children have as
  their main references children their age or a
  little older than them .
• This is something natural and there is nothing
  wrong in itself nothing happens because our
  children do not adopt our values, our tastes or
  our way of thinking, and of course, it is totally
  harmful to try to "force" this to happen. What
  can be done is to allow those ideas, knowledge
  and values to be available in the home in which
  our children grow up, so that if they are
  compatible with their way of being, they have the
  opportunity to make them theirs too.

• 4. They need an environment with stimulation,
  contact with others, and affection
• Scientific research shows that all children need
  regular physical contact with other people and
  with environments that contain a certain variety
  of stimuli. Otherwise, they can develop severe
  psychological and psychiatric disorders. In any
  case, most households and families already meet
  these conditions.
• 5. Curiosity is the engine of your learning
• Most learning scenarios occur because of a
  child's natural curiosity, which is one of the
  characteristics of childhood. Therefore, we
  should not make them feel embarrassed by asking
  too many questions, even if it may exhaust our
  patience.
• 6. Incentives are much more effective than
  punishments
• In the medium and long term, creating a system of
  incentives (not necessarily material, they can
  also be symbolic or based on praise and
  admiration) is more effective than punishing
  children when they misbehave. In this way, it is
  easier for them to share goals with their parents
  or caregivers.

• 7. Imagination and play cannot be separated
• As a general rule, children who do not have
  opportunities to play alone or with others will
  not have as many opportunities to imagine.
• The habit of getting lost in imaginary situations
  is an extension of the game that is produced by
  interacting with the environment instead of
  manipulating toys and exploring places, imagined
  elements inspired by the stimuli that the child
  has found in the real world are manipulated and
  explored .
• Therefore, being able to afford to play, read,
  watch movies... all this gives them more
  references with which they can create more
  interesting and nuanced imaginary situations.
