Creating a child theme in WordPress involves the following steps:

1. Create a new directory for your child theme in the `wp-content/themes` directory.
2. Create a `style.css` file in your child theme directory and add the necessary information, including the template reference to the parent theme.
3. Create a `functions.php` file in your child theme directory to enqueue the parent theme's stylesheets and scripts.
4. Customize the styles and templates in your child theme as needed, without modifying the parent theme files.
5. Activate your child theme in WordPress by navigating to Appearance > Themes and selecting your child theme.

By following these steps, you can create a child theme in WordPress to safely customize and extend the functionality of the parent theme without losing your changes during theme updates.
