Abstract
All round development is the main aim in the case of Childhood.Educational psychology, being a science and technology of education, should help in the realization of this aim. The constant interaction with the environment results in the growth and development of the innate capacities, abilities and potentialities of the child. As far as the human being is concern, life starts with the conception in the mother’s womb as a result of the process of fertilization of the ovum of the mother by the sperm cell of the feather. The mother’s womb then becomes the site and the means for the growth and development of the new life. In all animals, including human beings, the pre-natal period resembles the time taken by a germinating seed to come out of the soil, which then grows and develops into a full-fledged plan or tree. This paper analyses the child development on the basis of the theories of Piaget, Erickson and other related issues of child development.
