Child development is referred to as the physical, cognitive, social and emotional changes a child goes through from birth and throughout their lives. Daily experiences and relationships with others have mayor impacts in how a child develops in these areas. Children are guided by emotions and social interactions. Consequently, these connections will guide their cognitive development. NAEYC states “that optimal development and learning in the early years will most likely occur when children establish positive and caring relationships with adults and other children” (Bredekamp & Copple, 2009).
Emotions make every person unique and original, they make us who we are and can influence our thoughts and behaviors. We begin to demonstrate emotions from the second we are born, babies cry, coo, smile, or laugh in order to demonstrate how they are feeling. As children, we are influenced by our emotions; a positive emotion will lead to a positive experience and encouragement of a prosperous learning development. Meanwhile, a negative experience will discourage a child to learn, create relationships or explore the world. Emotional development is strongly related to social interactions; in fact, it is very difficult to find an explanation of one without the other (Gordon, Narvaez, Roundtree & Valero, 2013).
Social development is defined as the relationship an individual has with others, the upholding of such relationships and the ability to achieve a goal through them. Social development
Our parents raise us hoping for us to develop certain character traits, but there comes to a point when we start to become our own person based on the experiences we go through, any situation, good or bad, can influence our personality mentally and emotionally. Emotion is what makes us human, it's how we cope and how we manage our crazy lives’. When our feelings get damaged or even nourished, it will change how we react
Development of a child have been a thing that most of the parents have been neglecting without noticing that it is very important in the development of a child’s character and social
Cognitive development includes growth in memory, attention, reasoning, problem solving strategies, and language abilities (Mitchell and David 1992). Social development is how children of different ages relate to other people. In the beginning, the social world of a child consists of family members. Throughout development, they meet friends, teachers and other adults in their community. Social development is simply the act of making new friends and learning how to get along with other people.

When regulating emotions parents can take the approach of emotion coaching, being supportive and taking the chance to teach their children about their negative emotions to help guide them, or they can take the approach of emotional-dismissing in which they just ignore and reject children’s emotions.

Emotion regulation involves intrinsic and extrinsic processing of monitoring and modifying emotional reactions in both positive or negative situations (Martins, 2012). In order for individuals to have the ability to regulate emotions, they must beware of their emotions. Although infants are unaware and lack the ability to regulate their emotions, it then becomes the role of a primary carer to nurture the infant, thus acting as a model for regulating emotions. Evidently, infants grow to reflect the ways in which their carers control and modify their emotions as well as social boundaries. Furthermore, emotion regulation is considered an important aspect of an individuals life as it 'can moderate emotions and keep them in a manageable range
Children are very complex, unique and varied individuals whose genetics, connections and backgrounds all perform significant roles in their emotional development (Wilson, 2003). The genetic blueprint a child inherits from its parents may plot a course for development but the environment and the influences within can affect how the child is shaped, how they connect with and are perceived by others and how their emotions are or are not expressed. Wilson (2003) points out emotions as an experience that is linked to cognitive interpretation, context, subjective feeling, physical reaction and behavioural expression. Campos, Campos, and Barrett (1989) suggest emotions are processes of establishing, maintaining, or disrupting the relations between the person and the internal or external environment, when such relations are significant to the individual.
Social development, is the process of a human undergoing certain experiences that allow them to form relationships. Mentally, social development focuses on how they can participate in social contexts. Duchesne et al (2013). Children grow in many ways, morally, physically, mentally, logically, and socially, different theorists believe what aspects
Among all different developmental fields, emotional expression plays a very important role for people to understand infants and toddlers’ feelings before they can express their thoughts accurately by language communication. In simple words, emotion means the rapid appraisal of the personal significance of the situation, which prepares people for action. For example, happiness, interest, surprise, fear, anger, and sadness are the six basic emotions in humans (Berk, 2012); people can easily identify one’s emotional state by observing his or her facial expression in many situations. Although the expression of emotion is universal, much research shows that emotional development can vary quite a bit by culture.
Child development is an amazing thing to watch in the way that children interact with one another and how they perceive the world that surrounds. While doing our research of child development we began to observe a group of kids ranging the ages 1 – 12. During these observations we noticed traits such as attachment, comfort, and love. Through the following examples we will proceed to observe development in our environment and explain its relativity to the text
Sometimes in the classroom you will find that some children are easily distracted and are becoming bored. A usual case for when a child seems to be bored in a class is that they have already learned what is being taught. Either the information has already been ingrained inside or they are quick at understanding the basic concepts, whatever the case may be the child is now finding it hard to concentrate and focus in the classroom. This child will begin to cause disturbances and just all around not enjoy the process of learning, which potentially could impact the other children.
Children develop in many ways including through physical activity, mental activity and interaction with others (Roode, 1). According to a January 2007 clinical
Social interaction plays an important role in people’s life starting from the early childhood as infants interact with their caregivers and build the emotional attachment that is the base for future relationships. By social interaction with others children learn how to communicate, play and behave in particular situation. Berk (2009) proposed the overview of the literature that concentrates upon the early attachment and its importance. Knowing the influence of social interaction on child development in the first few years, the essay is going to elaborate upon the implication of social interaction on the development of cognition. Cognitive development as Lee & Gupta (eds.) claimed is the term that refers to acquisition and development of
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
Chapter 4 discussed the emotional development developed in the first two years of infants and how it deals with the social world. Infants show different emotions according to their ages. Newborn infants are happy and relaxed when fed and they cry when they are hungry or hurt. About 6 weeks they start to express happiness through the social smile. The different emotions developed through different stages. I remember some of my childhood memories. When I was 6 years old, I started to learn riding motorcycle but one day I felt down and was badly injured. After that, I was scared to ride a motorcycle. This shows that fear is developed inside me. In addition, in the same age, whenever I was alone, I always act as doctor and used to make my Barbie
