Developmental psychology is a science that studies the characteristics of individual behavior starting from the development of infancy, childhood, adolescence, adulthood, the aging process and ultimately covering the entire human age. Developmental psychology has existed since ancient Greece, where Plato was one of the experts. From Plato, John Locke, and Jean Jacques Rousseau it can be concluded that humans experience development through many factors, namely innate factors, education and experience, and the environment. Meanwhile, from the theories according to Sigmund Freud, Erik Erikson, Jean Piaget, John Bowlby, Albert Bandura, Lev Vygotsky, Lawrence Kohlberg, it can be concluded that child development can run normally and well by applying the above theories, namely by providing learning about psychosexual, psychosocial, moral learning, emotional learning, cognitive learning, interaction with the environment, etc.
