Is moving or traveling involved if you are a child psychologist?

For most jobs in the Child Psychology field, frequent travel is not involved. They may attend a few conferences a year, but normally a psychologist in private practice will remain close to their client base, at home. That's also true if they're working for someone else, at a hospital or in a school. At the beginning of their career, many Child Psychologists relocate to an area where there is great opportunity. This is particularly true if they come from a rural area or a very small town.
