What’s included
Introduction - Why Childhood Is Important
Learn how childhood memories shape us as adults. Understanding childhood through legal frameworks and psychological perspectives will help you understand its transformative phase, including survival, environmental control, and social context.
Attachment - Lesson 1
We learn the main theories of attachment, including Bowlby's and Ainsworth's work. These help you understand the factors for raising securely attached children and the critical period in which they need to develop a secure attachment.
Attachment - Lesson 2
This is all about the internal working models and their impact on parenting styles. By understanding these models, you’ll gain insight into how our upbringing shapes our attachment styles and influences our relationships throughout life.
Attachment - Lesson 3
It is time to learn about factors that can enhance our parenting and help us raise securely attached children. We also learn about the consequences of insecure parenting styles, which lead to children feeling unsafe and developing behavioral problems.
Attachment - Lesson 4
We uncover guidelines that will help your child become securely attached. By learning how to be attentive and responsive to your child's physical and emotional needs, you can establish a stable bond with them and teach them how to nurture their future relationship.
Identity - Lesson 1
We explore how children develop their sense of self and identity, from realizing their own existence to becoming aware of their place in the world and the groups they belong to.
Identity - Lesson 2
We highlight the most influential theories around gender identity and dive into the complexities of how they come to perceive and understand the social expectations and roles that are associated with being male or female, as well as the biological factors of that process.
Identity - Lesson 3
We conclude our discussion on identity by exploring that it's not just a matter of children absorbing messages from the world around them like sponges. They're active participants in constructing their own identities, and how we should support them in this journey.
Mental Representations - Lesson 1
We explore the way children learn, process information, and make sense of the world around them. We explain how their mind works, from stimulus to perception, all the way up to forming mental representations, and how these representations manifest into actual behavior.
Mental Representations - Lesson 2
We unwrap how positive representations can lead to greater self-esteem, emotional regulation, social skills, and goal achievement, and how negative representations can lead to difficulties with emotional regulation, low self-esteem, and a preference for short-term rewards.
Communication - Lesson 1
We learn about shared attention, intention-reading, and the common ground of proper communication. Knowing how these processes work can help you connect with your children and support their language and social skills development.
Communication - Lesson 2
We delve into the world of pre-verbal communication and how babies begin to connect words with objects and actions. This knowledge can be precious for parents who want to create supportive and responsive interactions with their children.

Hey, I’m Dimitris
I’ll be your instructor
As a Psychology Dip. H.E., my passion for childhood psychology ignited during my studies. Reflecting on the knowledge I wished my parents had, I embarked on a mission to share this knowledge I gained with others. Two years ago, I started researching in an attempt to design my first cohort program on how to “Understand Childhood Psychology”. This program empowers you to navigate parenting complexities with confidence, building empathy, effective communication, and fostering emotional well-being. The knowledge you’ll gain will become a powerful tool that will not only unlock the mysteries of childhood but also strengthen your parent-child bond, creating a harmonious and fulfilling journey of growth and development for both you and your child.
