Human Development

Understanding human development theories can be a game-changer for foster and kin/relative carers, empowering them to provide the best possible support for the children in their care. This course offers valuable insights into how children grow emotionally, cognitively, and socially, helping carers recognise developmental milestones, address trauma, and respond to individual needs with empathy and confidence. Human development theories explored in this course include:

By learning about concepts of human development, disruptions and repair, carers can create nurturing environments that foster security and growth. Investing time in understanding these frameworks not only strengthens the bond between carers and children but also equips them to handle challenges with informed, compassionate strategies—ultimately making a lasting difference in a child’s life.
