Problems in Infancy

Every developmental stage during childhood carries its own unique importance. However, it can be the problems encountered earliest in life that have a knock-on effect for the rest of our development. In turn, developmental or behavioural issues during infancy must be given complete focus and priority. Child psychologists are required to work with and address a comprehensive range of problems associated with early-childhood. Whether it’s identifying the problem, isolating the cause or putting the required corrective measures in place, child psychology is a profession of responsibility and reward in equally extreme measures.
