Emotional development
In their early years, children grow and develop quickly in all four domains of development. Physical, communication and language, cognitive, social and emotional are the four domains.
Children's social and emotional development refers to how they learn about themselves, their feelings, and what to expect while interacting with others. It is the growth of the ability to:
-
Forming and maintaining positive relationships is essential.
-
Emotions are experienced, managed, and expressed.
-
Discover and interact with others
It is significant to promote positive social and emotional development. This development affects a child's self-esteem, empathy, ability to form meaningful and long-lasting friendships and relationships, and sense of worth and value to people around him/her. All other aspects of a child's growth are influenced by their social and emotional development.
