About Child Development Institute

History & Purpose of
Child Development Institute

Child Development Institute was founded by Doctor Robert Myers. Dr. Myers is a Clinical Child Psychologist with 20 years of experience working with children, adolescents, families and parents. Realizing the unlimited potential of the Internet to provide useful information to parents, he decided to utilize this method to provide parent education that is current, relevant and easy to attain. Also, the amount of materials such as books, tapes, games and computer software available to parents for parent education and to provide self-help for their children and teenagers has grown exponentially. The Child Development Institute Resource Center provides a select set of materials that have been found to be beneficial. When fully developed, the center will provide "one stop shopping" for parents.

Working with students, teachers and schools as a consultant for over 20 years, Dr. Myers has developed a number of programs that have proven to be successful in helping children with various learning problems. These programs along with consulting services are now available to schools across the nation through the Child Development Institute.

Dr. Myers has also developed programs that provide clinically excellent yet cost effective treatment for various behavioral, emotional and educational disorders affecting children and teens. These programs are now available to physicians, medical groups, HMOs and managed care companies through the Child Development Institute.

Finally, the Child Development Institute will begin a research program to find effective community based solutions for various problems affecting youth. As a result of this research, a clearing house will be set up to package these solutions so that community groups will be able to implement them in their respective communities. The mass media will be used to help make citizens aware of the fact that there are solutions to these problems that are "grass root efforts" and can be implemented at the community level without government funding..

Doctor Robert Myers earned his Ph.D. from the University of Southern California. He is a Licensed Psychologist and a Licensed Marriage, Family, Child Counselor in California. He has been married for 28 years and has two children, a 24 year old daughter and a 19 year old son. In addition to his 20 years of private practice he has also held a number of consulting contracts. These have included: Clinical Director for several youth service inpatient units at College Hospital and Charter Hospital of Long Beach; Consulting Psychologist for Miller Children's Hospital at Long Beach Memorial Medical Center; Clinical Instructor (Pediatrics), UCI College of Medicine; Adjunct Professor, Rosemead Graduate School of Psychology at BIOLA University; Director of Mental Health, Universal Care (HMO); Clinical Director, College Health IPA; Research Consultant for A Better Way of Learning. He has also provided community lectures on parenting and other topics. Dr. Myers has been a talk show host on KIEV and KORG in Southern California. He has also appeared as a guest on many radio and television talk shows locally and nationally. He also was a regular columnist for Parents and Kids Magazine.
