(Unit 3) Topic 1: Social and Emotional Development

2 Clock Hours of Early Childhood Education

Development of Emotions

Topic 1 Page 9

Emotional development involves learning what feelings and emotions are, understanding how and why they happen, recognizing your own feelings and those of others, and developing effective ways of managing them. As a child grows and is exposed to different situations their emotional lives also become more complex. Developing skills for managing a range of emotions is therefore very important for their emotional wellbeing. Early childhood educators have an important role to play in supporting children’s emotional development. They do this through responding effectively to children’s emotions, through providing examples of how they manage feelings, and through talking with children about feelings and how to manage them.
