Your childhood is everything that happens from when you are born to when you become an adult (whatever that means) and psychologists are fascinated by it. For example, attachment theory says that a strong emotional and physical attachment between a child and at least one parent or caregiver is critical to a child’s development. Psychologists are interested in the different relationships children have, such as the roles of parents, and what happens when a child has multiple attachments, or none at all.
In this zone you’ll meet a psychologist interested in how people develop and change as they get older, another who looks at the interactions between us and technology, and another researching how children travel to school at different times of the year. Also in this zone is a psychologist looking at how moving to secondary school affects the mental health of autistic children, a psychologist working with young people to help them manage painful conditions and a psychologist looking at how children interact with technology.
