Children are constantly growing and developing physically, cognitively, and socioemotionally. Physical and cognitive factors, as well as others, play a role in the way a child learns but the most important is the emotional development of the child, therefore this paper will focus on information regarding the emotional development of the child and learning. Children are learning and expanding their emotional developments throughout every stage in their lives. After all, the prefrontal cortex -- which controls the emotional part of your brain -- is the last part of the brain to fully develop in any human being. To ensure a successful academic, social, and emotional learning experience, children must have their emotional developments met.

There are far too many students who need emotional intervention and when not supplied with such, can damage their academic career, and can cause problems inside and outside of the classroom. When students are dealing with their own troubles outside of the classroom, it makes it hard to focus on what is going on inside of the classroom. In the same sense, sometimes things that happen inside the classroom get taken home with students who often feel uneasy about it. The similarities in both situations is the emotional development and capability to be able to regulate your emotions and solve the problem at hand any way that you can. I personally believe that, as a future educator, reaching students emotionally and making sure that they have someone to talk to whenever they need would increase their chances of success in …show more content…

(1) The Center on the Social and Emotional Foundations for Early Learning, or CSEFEL, is a training model designed to provide teachers with curricula and skills to promote social-emotional learning in their preschool classrooms in order to prevent challenging behaviors (CSEFEL, n.d.). I interviewed Dr. Mary Louise Hemmeter, who is the principle investigator at CSEFEL at Vanderbilt University. This center works with child care programs, preschools, and Head Start programs to prepare children for the transition into kindergarten, where self-regulatory and social-emotional skills are necessary (Hemmeter, Ostrosky, & Fox, 2006). This program promotes social-emotional skills for all children in the classroom to prevent challenging behaviors, and
In Touchpoints: Your Child’s Emotional and Behavioral Development, by T. Berry Brazelton and Joshua D. Sparrow they created a research study of four children over four years, from three to six. This is where the book begins an introduction of the four “Brazelton babies” which are, Billy, Minnie, Marcy, and Tim. It lists numerous everyday situations that parents are bound to deal with, and instead of exploding handling it the Brazelton way. Touchpoints as the book explains in the introduction is a time of vulnerability as the child continues to grow and develop, because during these moments there are setbacks or regression in their behavior.
Personal, social and emotional developments (PSED) are acknowledged as one of the starting point of accomplishment in life. PSED is about the whole child, how they are developing now, what they can do to reach their goals but also contribute to their community and how children perceive their identity and ability, understand their relation to the others in the society and apprehend their own and others’ feelings. PSED are a part of children’s development where they will be able to communicate effectively and be able to develop positive behavior among themselves and to others. According to the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), PSED is consists of three aspects which are self-confidence and self-awareness, managing feelings and behavior and making relationships (DfE, 2012). In this essay, I will discuss the factors that influence children’s behavior , theories of personal social development and the strategies to develop the positive behavior in children to promote PSED, transition and inclusion.

In this essay I am going to show my understanding of a child's early emotional development based on the psychoanalytical view of child development. I will show how emotional skills gained in the early years can be of a significant relevance to later life. I will show my understanding by illustrating it with the clinical material. Although I am focusing on the psychoanalytical approach to child development I believe that it is beneficial to present also some general background knowledge of child development.
The ideas of this article intrigued me because of the information presented in the beginning paragraphs. This article elaborates upon how important the ability of being able to distinguish between positive and negative emotions is. Through the faces presented in the start of the article, I learned that affective development “generally precedes cognitive and behavioral development, as children experience emotions and react to them long before they are able to verbalize or cope. However, social and emotional competencies do not unfold automatically; rather they are strongly influenced by the child’s early learning environment” (Kramer, Caldarella, Christensen & Shatzer 2010). As an educator, I feel as though this is a pertinent piece of important information. Oftentimes students will view school as their safe-haven, and, with all the struggles that they are facing at home, emotions are let loose in the wrong ways. This social-emotional learning program reportedly help...
It discusses how children are born with that needs to connect with individuals around them. Teachers and providers create positive relationship with children from birth through the early years. The foundation for that healthy social and emotional development because it affects her children see the world, express themselves, manages their emotions, in establishing a positive relationship with others. There were several areas of development that included social interactions that focus on the relationship that we share and include relationship with adults and peers. Emotional awareness recognized and understands your feelings and actions of other people, and self-regulation where you have that ability to express your thoughts, feelings, and behavior in a socially appropriate way. There were many tips that were listed when working with infants from talking and reading, having that warm, responsive, and consistent care, maintaining predictable routines, and getting to know each child while following their lead. The importance of supporting children and developing social skills is critical for learning, happiness, and long-term. This development begins during infancy and can be supported through simple social games, emotional role model, and imitating an infant's facial expression and sounds. The importance of social-emotional development and toddlers makes an impact in a child life when these skills are developed starting in infancy. Encouraging positive behaviors and using positive discipline practices that helped to develop the ability to make good choices as well as recognizing the confidence that is built when these behaviors are repeated. This is a process for young children to learn these behaviors always remembering that a patient response will help especially when the behaviors are
The Greek philosopher Isocrates describes the characteristics of an ideal citizen in his essay, “The Educated Man”. From his point of view an educated man is not one who has pursued higher education but one who has good character and contributes to his society. In Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird, Atticus Finch is portrayed as an educated man because he has excellent morals and knows how to conduct himself. Atticus and the “educated man” are both the ideal and perfect members of a community and family. They are strong-minded, charismatic, and honorable – traits that most people strive for. The diction that Harper Lee uses when describing Atticus Finch helps create the image of the perfect and educated man.
Every child’s development is distinctive, multipart, and complex. Development comes to pass in five areas. SPICE refers to the five areas of development that all children share. Social, physical, intellectual, creative, and emotional equals SPICE (Early childhood education). Erik Erikson developed a theory of development that considers the impact of external factors from infancy to later life. So, when thinking about early childhood education the one detail that comes to mind is development. Emotional-social development is one aspect of development that is greatly influenced by factors in the environment and the experiences a child has.
Children should be socially and emotionally ready to be able to make the social adjustment in the classroom environment. Preschool teachers should focus more on children’s social skills than rather pressured into teaching academics, but that may not be considered best practice. In fact, children who have been rejected by their peers in kindergarten shows poor school performance. Children who lack social and emotional skills are being kicked out of kindergarten. As a result, they are not receiving the information that is being taught. Factors that influence children’s transition to kindergarten are children’s home environment and the preschool program they attend between preschool and kindergarten (Deyll-Gingold, 2007). Here are some kindergarten expectations students should know before they enter
In this paper I am going to be talking about social and emotional development in my niece Loren. Social Development involves learning the values, knowledge and skills that enable children to relate to others effectively and to contribute in positive ways to family, school and the community (https://www.kidsmatter.edu.au/families/about-friendship/social-development/social-development-children’s-social-development). I will also be talking about her emotional development. Emotional development is the emergence of a child 's experience, expression, understanding, and regulation of emotions from birth through late adolescence. It also comprises how growth and changes in these processes concerning emotions occur (http://www.education.com/reference/article/emotional-development/).
School is an environment where children are intended to learn many interpersonal skills. Through emotional learning they develop self awareness, more specifically identifying and recognising emotions, strengths, needs and values, self-efficacy and spirituality. Students develop self management by controlling and managing stress, self motivating and developing organisational skills. They are also able to make decisions b...

Certain social and emotional milestones need to be met in order for a child to function in a positive way. Starting from within, a child will learn self-regulation. “Self-regulation is the ability to control your own thoughts, behaviors, and emotions and direct them to meet the demands of the situation.” (Cook & Cook, 2014). These self-regulation skills can allow a child to be motivated, goal oriented, and even adapt better to their social surroundings. During this age, children will be starting school and interacting frequently with classmates, being able to control their behaviors can correlate with how well they do in school. Teaching children the proper way to handle their emotions all starts with culture and parenting styles. For example, in some cultures it may be considered inappropriate to express too much emotion in public, children will pick up on these social cues and use them (Thompson and Goodvin 2005). Parenting styles that contain a warm but firm disposition, called authoritative parenting, have proven to be the most effective when teaching moral standards and rules in early childhood. This type of parenting will teach respect and understanding between children and adults and can be beneficial in school years. Social development takes large strides during these years because of the new interactions with friends and classmates. These new interactions
Emotion has a major role that it plays in the learning environment (Cleveland-Innes & Campbell, 2012). Educational psychologists believe the motivation, achievements, and the overall educational performance has a direct correlation to the human emotion (Cleveland-Innes & Campbell, 2012). That statement alone reflects the significant role that emotion plays in education. There is a major need for human emotion to be displayed in the educational environment and it really does not matter whether it is a brick and mortar class or an online learning environment; emotion must and in fact does play a role.
