Why Should We, As CYC-P, Learn About Developmental Psychology?

Learning about developmental psychology is important for us as a Child and Youth Care Professional because it helps us understand how kids grow and change, so we can offer the right support at the right time. It also helps us build stronger connections with youth, spot potential issues early, and guide them in developing social and emotional skills. Plus, it helps us be more aware of cultural differences, ensuring we can support each young person in the best way possible.

As CYCP we need to understand the path that life generally takes to understand where someone's life may have gone off the path to possibly have an impact on them. As CYCP we see children and youth who have experienced some sort of adversity/trauma and we need to be able to see how it has an impact on the development of the youth. Understanding typical milestones and stages in a child/youths can help us determine if there are areas that the youth may be experiencing challenges to better help guide them to facing those challenges.
