Emotions are innate right from birth in the child. In the
beginning the babies seek out things they want by crying. The emotional
capabilities expand as the child grows. Emotional development encompasses the
feelings that we possess about ourselves and others as well as the capabilities
to function well in the world from a social standpoint.
Babies seem to be born with some of their emotional
qualities in place. Much of how they develop initially can be credited to the
lessons they are taught by their primary caregivers. Warm, attentive care
during the first year of life help babies to gain a sense that the world is a
safe and welcoming place. This sense of security can be a good base for the
development of other healthy emotional responses.
Generally babies show wide range of emotions like happiness,
fear, sadness, anxiety, etc. with varying emotional expressions. These include
smiling, laughing, showing joy and excitement, crying, showing anger, becoming
anxious, feeling guilty or sad and being withdrawn. It is important to keep in
mind that emotional development is unique to each child.
Emotions expressed by preschoolers are changing and
contradicting at the same time. They can be very happy at one moment while sad
at the very next instance. Their emotions don’t last long.
International school franchise helps children grow and change in many ways during their primary
years. Their responses to the various feelings they experience have a major
impact on their behavior, their choices and how they cope up in different
situations. As children grow and are exposed to different situations, their
emotions also become more complex. Parents can do a lot in developing the child
socio-emotionally. They should spend time with their child, encourage them to
make friends, allow expressions of all forms of emotions and role model with
correct emotional expressions.
In a nutshell it can be said that a child’s social and
emotional development is dependent largely on the emotional well being of
his/her parents. Parents who have had positive life experiences are better
equipped to be emotionally available and responsive to a young child. This
responsive relationship between the young child and parents, support healthy
development in communication, cognition, socio emotional competence and moral
understanding.
