Most would recommend choosing traditional/popular subjects like geography and history. I don't think child development is a good choice either. Languages are great. For A-level I would say the same too.
A basic guideline as to what is best to pick is to look at what the high achieving students are taking (provided that you are also interested in those subjects).

I do business and it's so easy! But it's kinda **** because it 'seems' like a cool subject but its so boring.

It's the fact that everyone knows it as an easy subject that makes it not as respectable a subject.

That's true, I don't even revise any more for my end of term tests since my teacher isn't good and we aren't learning anymore but I still got a B somehow lol.

I did business studies and would recommend it.
I wouldnt recommend child development though- its a bit useless- id pick something else like geography instead.
