Development
Attachment, brain development, emotional regulation, social relationships, and internalising and externalising behaviours are important areas influencing child and adolescent mental health, learning and development.
As children and young people develop, different environmental influences – the people and institutions around them – assume greater influence during different life stages. Children and adolescents are not just passively moulded by external forces – they have agency and choice which enables them to shape and influence their own development.
