ASPECTS OF SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL DEVELOPMENT

There are some core dimensions of emotional development for instance caring environment, knowledge and regulation of emotions, social understanding, relationship management, and social responsibility. These dimensions are discussed in the following section:

 

i. Caring environment

Developing kind, trusting, relationships with responsive caregivers in early childhood settings are essential. These relationships provide the child with an internal working model of positive social relationships (Denham & Weissberg, 2004).

 ii. Emotional knowledge and emotional regulation

The ability to identify emotions in oneself and others and to delay reactions to emotions while directing these feelings into socially acceptable behaviors is central to social competency.

 In the early stages of social-emotional development infants and toddlers experience emotions and react to them on an affective level. With the beginning of language and other cognitive skills, such as attention maintenance, and reasoning, children can respond to the emotional stimulation by using their new cognitive skills to think in advance and create alternate plans for action.

The act of labeling an emotion helps to move it to the language/cognitive part of the brain. This creates a space between feeling and action which ultimately helps children to process feelings in a matter that is more cognitive than reactive. (Greenberg, Kusch, & Mihalic, 1998).

Children at a very early age are capable of recognizing basic emotions particularly happy and sad; however, they often confuse anger with fear. Between ages four to seven children begin to understand more complex dimensions of emotions. For instance, they can recognize that people may experience diverse emotions, or that different people can feel differently about the same event (Denham & Weissberg, 2004).

iii. Social Understanding

Generally around age four children begin to understand that others have internal worlds where they keep feelings and thoughts and that certain events/actions are causes for certain emotional reactions. This major developmental stage allows for perspective[1]taking – the ability "to be in someone else's shoes" which leads to the ability to empathize.

 iv. Relationship management

The knowledge of social norms influences the interaction between children. For example, it helps a child how to express emotions effectively or to respond to problems. v. Social responsibility Knowing about emotions is not enough. The goal of social-emotional education is to enable children to be internally motivated to act kindly and to develop a system of ethical values directed toward feeling for others.
