Document Summary

Developmental psychology is about learning how individuals are different. The ancient view regarding children was that they saw children as slaves, property, or animals that had to be socialised and turned into people. They believed that children or young individuals could not be considered people.

We start as blank slates when we are born, waiting to be written upon. Hence in a sense we start from zero and eventually get to what we call a. With the advent of christianity, the status of children changed. Christianity described children being similar to what adam and eve were before they fell from grace (innocent, valuable, and pure).
