Developmental Issues in Middle Childhood

Every child’s development is unique and therefore fundamentally different from every other. What’s more, every child will inevitably encounter certain developmental issues and obstacles along the way. It’s how these problems are identified, approached and ultimately resolved that makes all the difference. The more severe or potentially influential the problem, the greater the importance of pinpointing and addressing it as early as possible. Child psychologists, therefore, must be familiar with as many common and rare childhood developmental issues as possible. Not to mention, the capacity to take on the most challenging cases and an unwillingness to accept defeat at any time.
