Answer 

Emotional development is the beginning of a child's experience, understanding, expression, and management of emotions from birth to late adolescence. It also includes how growth and changes in these processes related to emotions take place.

How do children start to understand who they are, what they are feeling, and what they expect to receive from others? These concepts are the bases of their social-emotional development. They play an important part in a child’s self-confidence and empathy, his ability to develop significant and long-term friendships and partnerships, and his sense of importance and value to those around her.
