Development Of A Child 's Social And Emotional Development

Think back to when you were younger, do you remember the different emotions you had? Did you know that you learned a lot of your emotions from your parents or caregivers? Infants and toddlers go through many different stages of emotional development. Starting at birth where they show little to no emotion, up through toddler-hood where their emotions become more defined is a critical stage in there development. Infants begin to develop basic emotions at birth such as happy, sad, fear and anger. As they get older to start to understand and respond to the emotions of others whether it is their parent’s or caregiver. Around toddler-hood children learn about self-conscious emotions and when it is appropriate to feel guilt, shame, pride and

Adolescence has been charactised as a time of storm and stress, but many adolescents make the transition from child to adult with relative ease and with little trauma either to themselves or to their parents. It is not surprising that, while their bodies are so rapidly changing, youngsters become quite preoccupied with them and wonder what they will become.

Jean Piaget and Vygotsky are both influential psychologists who focused on cognitive development mainly in adolescence and childhood. Piaget theory states that children develop through stages of adaptation and the experiences in one stage form the foundation for movement to the next (Berk, 1977). whereas Vygotsky believed that our knowledge is acquired through culture and interacting with others. This essay will focus on Piaget’s theory of childhood and adolescence development looking at how one adapts, assimilates and accommodates new and existing schemas through childhood and adolescence development.

Jean Piaget researched how the environment and personal experience plays a role in cognitive development for children (Case-Smith & O’Brien, 2010). Piaget established four concepts: adaptation, schema, assimilation, and accommodation (Case-Smith & O’Brien, 2010). Adaptation is described as the process of adjusting to one’s surroundings (Case-Smith & O’Brien, 2010). For example, 5-year-old Betty enters a birthday party full of laughing children. Betty may start smiling and clapping along with her peers.

This piece of work will seek to focus on how social and emotional development is affected in a child aged 13; the two key issues it will focus on are family structure and abuse. As a child is growing, development can be affected by a number of different factors. Family structure is important, as most, if not all interactions young people have influence them in overt ways. It should also be noted that physical, mental or emotional abuse will also affect the way people approach others, as well as the emotions people feel when in contact with others.

In understanding the emotional and cognitive development in children, many theorists including Bowlby and his attachment theory, Baumrind theory towards parenting styles and also Vygotsky and his theory on social development, have all worked hard over many years of research into producing theories on understanding how the development of children is important. It has been found that emotional and cognitive development are becoming linked much more closely as children grow. There is constant advancements and research in old and new theories towards a Child development. In this essay, different theories will be discussed about child development such as their, social, emotional, cognitive and language and how the role of nature and nurture adapts to these theories.

I am Fowzia Mohamed and I believe having a Strong social-emotional skills and competencies are crucial to young children’s development. I am easy going and ass sometime strong person and I have ability to read different children's emotional and I have a direct effect on children’s future health and peer relationships, and they may also be important for learning: I able to control children who have trouble controlling their emotions and behaviors have been found to have little direction, to be less involved in and less positive about their role as learners, and to have fewer chance for learning from peers. I can promote understand and respect among preschool children by providing experiences in sharing materials, and also its my responsibly

What would you do if your child came home with a note from the teacher? What if the note stated that he/she does not know how to communicate or play well with others? That he/she yelled at or hit another child or teacher because he/she wanted to play with them? How would that influence your child’s life and the relationships that he/she build? How would that impact your life? Social-emotional competence plays a key factor in how children communicate with others in different environments or situations. Social-emotional development, as defined by the California Department of Education (CDE), is “a child’s experience, expression, and management of emotions and the ability to establish positive and rewarding relationships with others” (CDE, 2016).

Physical, Cognitive, and Socio-Emotional developments are ones that every growing individual goes through. The EDC 307 course specifically focuses on these developments in middle childhood and adolescence. This course has taught me an enormous amount about each of those stages. I learned that in middle childhood, cognitive development entails changes in self concept, the child relates their real self to an ideal self that they created. However, in adolescence the cognitive changes are centered around egocentrism and abstract thinking. As for physical development, in middle childhood the changes are few, slow, and regular. Puberty is the most significant physical change that happens during adolescence, ad it happens fast and suddenly . Socio-emotional development concerns social behaviors with peers and loved ones. During middle childhood, kids normally judge themselves based on the opinions of their peers, parents, and teachers. I found out that this differs in adolescence in that teenagers try to find their real identity regardless of opinions. Although I mentioned a few things that I learned in this course, it is only a small percentage of all that I have actually acquired. Moving on in my life, this information will be a great beneficial factor not only in my career, but in my personal life as well. If I end up working with kids, it will help me better understand them and, in turn, communicate

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.

Social Emotional development is a child’s ability to control his or her emotions by self-regulating. It also is the child’s ability express his or her feelings in the appropriate way. Temperament is the combination of mental, physical, and emotional traits of a person; natural predisposition. ("Temperament | Define Temperament at Dictionary.com," n.d.). Your temperament regulates your social emotional development. When you look at your temperament researchers have found that these nine traits present at birth and continued to influence development in important ways throughout life. (Oliver, 2002). Then there are 3 categories that most people fall into which are easy or flexible, Difficult, active, or feisty, Slow to warm up or cautious. As you can see by understanding temperament, you can work with the child rather than trying to change his or her inborn traits. By doing this you can help with a child’s emotional development. “Healthy social and personality development occurs in young children when there is compatibility between the child and the demands and expectations of the teacher and center environment. (Culpepper, S. (n.d). As educator it is important that we focus on social-emotional development because if a child is not emotionally ready to go to school he or she could be labeled due to delayed learning. If they do not have skill such as taking turns, working as a team or being in social situations how do we

Early childhood on social and emotional development is something very important in a child’s early stages in life. This is where children often learn about their reactions and responses on how they act as well on how others react towards them. In this stage, children learn a lot from the way their parents, friends, teachers, etc, express themselves. In the essay I will be talking about how we can help our children interact with others being social, expressing their feelings, and understanding the way other peers feel. Sharing feelings will definitely be very big in their life so they show a good solid understanding of how to interact with other people even outside the home. Being a parent to the child will help them the most in their life

Piaget’s theory also allowed us a way to accept and understand that children's cognitive behavior is intrinsically motivated. Social and other reinforcements do influence children's cognitive explorations but children learn because of the way they are built. In Piaget’s mind cognitive adapts to the environment through assimilation. Also accommodation is a type of biological adaptation (Flavell, 1996). According to Piaget in order to characterize cognitive development in humans we need to understand co-present in cognitive activity which is cognitive structure (Flavell, 1996). Piaget was the first psychologist to try explaining describing cognitive development. His argument is that intellectual advances are made through the equilibration process that has three steps: the first step is for the cognitive equilibrium to de at a low development level; then, cognitive disequilibrium has to be induced by discrepant or inassimilable phenomena and lastly cognitive equilibration has to be at a higher developmental level.

Because self-esteem is influenced by so many different things (e.g. society, media, friends, etc…) it is very important that parents and caretakers take the proper steps in helping a child develop a strong sense of who they are (Nuttall, 1991). By the time a child reaches three years of age they have experienced a very wide range of emotions (Cluff, N.D.) Parents, teachers and caregivers will lay the foundation upon which a child emotionally develops (Cluff, N.D.). Positive emotional development is important for children because this will not only determine their ability to develop healthy relationships with their peers but also how to successfully deal with their own emotions (Cluff, N.D.). Many theorists agree that there is a connection between a child’s emotional levels and development; they also

The development and behavior of a child can be the result of different factors. The most important of them are parents and environment, mainly peers. However, in 1998, Judith Rich Harris published her book called The Nurture Assumption in which she argues that parents really do not matter very much. Harris suggests that peer group of a child is more important that parents (Scientific American). Our main goal is to provide arguments on both sides and evaluate who really has the most influence on the development and behavior of a child.
