Child psychology in relation to each specific child is associated with the study of his character traits, his interests. It is about the qualities that determine the personality in the future.

In the early 1960s, scientists came to the conclusion that the personality of a child, like an adult, includes several common and several independent features. This model was later called the Big Five, Zagge reports.

According to this scheme, each person is endowed with five character traits: extraversion / introversion; goodwill; good faith; neuroticism (emotional instability); openness to experience (intelligence).

Psychologists believe that a child, like any adult, is not limited to a certain type of personality. In different situations, one or another feature of the "Big Five" may be beneficial to the individual. For example, goodwill makes children good conversationalists.

But since the world and the people who inhabit it are not predictable, each aspect of the individual becomes useful at different times. Therefore, each child is a collective image of types that are applicable to certain life situations.

Psychologists note that some features go to children from their parents. But here everything is ambiguous: something is inherited genetically, and something is acquired throughout life.

“Our genes serve as the starting point for becoming an individual. But as we get older, we have more and more life experiences, and more and more opportunities to deviate from genetic characteristics,” says psychologist Christopher Soto from Colby College in the USA.

Earlier it was reported that game for children, which teaches them how to program, was invented by developers at Curious Chip. It is a portable device that teaches you how to create your own applications and games.
