THE CRA PERSPECTIVE Child Psychology Understanding the Mind Behind the Child Every child is developing a mind, discovering a world, building relationships and learning what it means to be themselves. “Behind every child's behaviour is a developing mind, a growing emotion, and a story waiting to be understood.” Childhood is far more than a preparation for adulthood. It is a remarkable period of exploration, emotional development, imagination, learning and identity formation. A child does not simply learn facts from the world around them. Children gradually learn how to understand emotions, communicate their needs, build relationships, respond to challenges and develop an understanding of themselves and others.
