Certificate in Child Psychology

You see the behaviour, but you want to understand what is going on underneath.

🤔

You want to know why a child acts a certain way, not just how to manage the behaviour in the moment.

🤷‍♀️

It feels hard to know the right way to support a child who is struggling with big emotions or new challenges.

📚

There is so much conflicting advice available. You want a structured way to learn what research shows.

A different approach

Learn the way that works for you.

Every lesson comes in five formats: text, video, audio, slides, and an AI tutor. You can ask your tutor questions anytime to get a straight answer. This helps you understand topics deeply and at your own pace.

What is the difference between secure and insecure attachment? How would I see this in a real-life daycare setting?
AI Tutor
A child with a secure attachment will typically explore the room but check back with their caregiver. They may be upset when the caregiver leaves but are easily soothed on their return. A child with an insecure attachment might either ignore the caregiver, be very clingy, or seem distressed and hard to comfort. It's about how they use their caregiver as a 'safe base'. Would you like me to explain the different types of insecure attachment?
