Morphology
The meaning 'the psychology of children' is directly and compositionally derived from combining 'child' (a minor) with 'psychology' (the study of mind and behavior). This noun–noun compound follows a common English pattern (study-of X) that is cross-linguistically transparent, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents should readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Child psychology is like a 'doctor for the mind' for young people: child means a young person and psychology means the study of how the mind works. That's why it refers to the study of how children think, feel, and grow.
