The Effects Of Social And Emotional Development On Children

It proposes the interaction of child in social contexts. In this approach, there are two general levels: 1-distal and molar, which is the moment the child exists and 2-proximal social and physical settings (movement and interactions with significant others. There is the concept of Zone of proximal development: things that someone is capable of doing, but can’t do on their own. Thus, the person needs social support to achieve the goal (Scaffolding)

The early years of life provide the foundation for a child’s social development. Social development is a gradual process and the rates of social development vary among children, however, children are active learners and have ample opportunities to learn. Social development involves the learning and skill building that enables children to effectively relate to others and to contribute to their family, school, and community in a positive way. The social development of a child is influenced by many factors including attachment, temperament, self-esteem, and emotional reactions. This essay will further examine these four factors and the effects they have on the early social development of children. For the purpose of this paper, the focus will

The Child Study data I have gathered comes from the observation I have completed at Mission Bell Elementary School. Mission Bell Elementary School is a local school in Riverside. In the P.M preschool class there are 24 students, one teacher, and one assistant. The child I decided to observe is names Zoe. Zoe is 4 years and 10 months old. I immediately was drawn to Zoe because she had such a big personality, was very social, and smart. I am glad that I choose to observe Zoe because she was able to make my observation process smooth and easy. While observing her I had to pay close attention to her biosocial development, motor skills, cognitive skills, communication skills,

At the age of 6 years old, a child would most likely experienced the school system which would include pre-school and kindergarten. There are many physical, cognitive and social changes that are happening in middle childhood development. This paper will examine what these changes affect the child’s ability to function in society. This analysis will focus on the normal course of development in middle childhood as it applies to the theorist Erik Erikson’s Psychosocial Stages and then give examples of what may happen if the developments are not carried out.

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.

This paper is a progress report of an eight-year old girl’s developmental milestones from ages zero months to eight years old. It is an attempt to relate the milestones, and the impact on the girl’s ability to interact with her social environment. It identifies changes, and struggles the child experienced over the years. It reviews the decisions the parents made and their impact to her development. It links development theories to changes and experiences she experienced.

Emotional development is a complex task that begins in infancy and continues into adulthood. The first emotions that can be recognised in babies include joy, anger, sadness and fear. Later, as children begin to develop a sense of self, more complex emotions like shyness, surprise, elation, embarrassment, shame, guilt, pride and empathy emerge. Primary school children are still learning to identify emotions, to understand why they happen and how to manage them appropriately. As children develop, the things that provoke their emotional responses change, as do the strategies they use to manage them.

Describe the ways the toddler approaches or interacts with other children. At the time of my observation with Dai’Lynn there was no other children the only person present besides myself was Dai’Lynn mother.

This group of students is quite diverse. This group of fourth grade students also exhibit diversity from their home life, culture, and socioeconomic areas. This school has over an eighty percent ration of students on free or reduced lunches. Religious diversity also plays a part in this group of children. These children break up into social groups based along these lines of diversity.

The article outlines the impact of teachers, school social workers and paraprofessionals on an infant and toddler biological psychological, and social-emotional domain. According to Hutchison, an infant is a young child from birth to the first year of life. A toddler is a young child from about 12 to 36 months of age. When engaging with this target group it is important to include and educate the parents as the newborn enters a developmental niche. Hutchinson defines a developmental niche as “the cultural context into which a particular child is born; guides every aspect of the developmental process.” The developmental niches require a stream of resources, which is why child care and social services provided are

As described in the vignette, the 4-year old boy is currently attending pre-school where he has been making trouble, specifically when the teacher is performing coordinated activities. He also demonstrates being anti-social by avoiding both of his siblings, and he doesn’t perform in pro-social activities with other children at his pre-school. Physically, he seems to be developing properly – he is in the 65th and 80th percentile in both height and weight, respectively. Psychologically, he produces minimal speech, and avoided eye contact with the examiner during the evaluation visitation. For a comprehensive assessment of the patient, it would be ideal to obtain a developmental history from birth and contrast it with his current status. Within development, four important domains which should be focused on include the child’s gross motor skills, his fine motor skills, language acquisition and utility, as well as the social aspect of their development. One key aspect that is currently abnormal about the child is the social aspect of his behavior. At the age of 4, a child should be engaging in cooperative play; a behavior which seems to be altered in this child. It is especially important for children at this stage to participate in pro-social behaviors, as it leads to

The social aspect of development focus on how the child behaves with family, peers and at school. In particular how they can behave one way at home and another way at school. I found discussing the social aspect of a child behavior significant because being able to interact with peers and individuals at school remains a crucial aspect to a child’s development. In other words, learning how to be around and socialize with people at a young age, will inevitable help later in life when they enter the work force or when maneuvering through social events. Finally, at the end of the video the emphasize that is our responsibilities as educators to know the children in our care and to understand the various ages and stages of development so that we are better equipped to lead our children through their early years

JJ is a 3-year-old Caucasian male that is currently being observed in a daycare setting located at the Erie Community college in WNY. This observational study is to see what characteristic can help us understand how the developmental process is with JJ, and what part has more emphasis on social factors that is contributing to his cognitive development. JJ is in the Erie Community College daycare, while his mother or father is attending their college classes around 10:00 a.m. JJ is wearing a blue sweatshirt and a pair of jeans with sneakers. While observing him for the first five minutes, he was not engaging in the activities, while not really expressing any emotions towards the peers, teachers, and his environment.

Emotional expression is the manner in which an individual expresses their emotions according to the situation they are in. This is an important component in social and emotional development of children, because when a child knows how to express their emotions in an appropriate manner they will have better experience and more success with peers and in the classroom. Children learn emotional regulation through experiences and will translate this into their social interactions. Parents and teachers have an important role in fostering emotional regulation by helping children understand their emotions and by giving children an opportunity to feel emotions, which leads to childrens ' development of empathy.

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
