There are most of the same areas in developmental psychology that there are in psychology as a whole: cognitive development, emotional development, social development, personality development, perceptual development, etc. There are many, many theories of development. It sounds like you should have a look at one of the many textbooks on developmental psychology that are available. Try your school library.
