Children Study
Supporting the growth of children through environmental changes.
Child studies is the scientific research of the mental and physical development and health of children. Topics of research cover all aspects of child development, including its relationship to children’s living environments and cultures.
Child studies can be categorized into topics such as “child development”, “child health”, “child welfare”, “child care and education”, and “children and culture”. These topics of research are related closely to studies in education, psychology, and social welfare, making knowledge in these fields essential.
Children these days live in an environment much different than that of previous generations, living in climate-controlled high-rise condominiums and spending lots of time paying video games. In this way, a vital role of child studies is to quickly identify changes in children’s environments to proceed with the analysis and research of those changes.
