Our comprehensive Child Behaviour Diploma Course equips parents, educators, and childcare professionals with in-depth knowledge of child psychology, emotional development, and behavioural patterns to better support children’s mental health and wellbeing in UK family, education, and care settings.

This Child Behaviour Diploma focuses on understanding how children grow, think, feel, and behave from early childhood through adolescence. You will develop a strong foundation in child development stages, attachment theory, and the psychological factors that shape behaviour, resilience, and emotional regulation.
