Theories of Development

There are many fields in the development of theoretical psychology. The field of human development is divided into five theoretical groups. Theoretical groups are psychodynamics, recognition, system science, biology and behavior. There are many contributing theorists in each theory group. Several theories overlap, others are independent. Theory is usually reliable, but other theories cause doubt. There are many contributors in the psychological world who have different views and beliefs about human development.

The theory is made up of four levels, later we add the fifth level. Microsystem level focuses on factors immediately surrounding children. - The birth of newborns usually brings joy to their parents. After all the first celebration, parents send the baby's house when the child's development begins. Even before the celebration begins, child development begins in the fetal period (Boyd, Johnson, & Bee, 2009). Bronfenbrenner's system theory explains how external environments and individuals affect children's development (Boyd, Johnson, & Bee, 2009).
