Emotional Development in Children - Edify school franchise

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smiling, laughing, showing joy and excitement, crying, showing anger, becoming anxious, feeling guilty or sad and being withdrawn.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.
