Explain How To Promote Children's Personal Social And Emotional Development

Introduction:
It is important for us as early childhood practitioners to fully understand a child’s personal, social and emotional development. We should be aware of social and emotional factors that can hinder a child’s normal development. We should find ways to help children overcome obstacles that may obstruct their development in order for them to flourish into confident and well-rounded individuals.
Personal development is based upon children’s obtainment of knowledge, individual personal skills, their ability to think, and the way in which they perceive themselves.
Social development is how we come to understand ourselves in relation to others, how we make friends, interact with people and understand the rules of society and also how a person behave towards others.
Emotional development is having feelings, understanding one’s feeling and having the ability to feel empathy towards others and their feelings.
It is imperative that young children start the process of PSED in order for them to be able to progress and grow. By developing these different aspects of their personality and characters, it will support and help them with a variety of areas in life including relationships, confidence and self-esteem.
Theories on PSED

For a child to learn how to finish a puzzle, they need to have some kind of social interaction whereby a parent or a more knowledgeable individual shows them how to complete a puzzle before they can do it themselves. Children need to have interaction before they can develop cognitively. This is the same for social and emotional aspects of life. If a child has never been in a situation where they have been told and shown rules they would not be aware of these, and if a child has never had any interaction with different emotions or people, they would not know how to behave appropriately, which would again hinder their development emotionally and
