Social and emotional development is just as important to children's learning as their academic development. NAEYC's resources offer information about the latest research, ideas for classroom practice, and strategies to share with families.
To understand human growth and development, healthcare professionals need to understand and learn about 2 areas: (1) knowledge of milestone competencies, for example, growth in the motor, cognitive, speech-language, and social-emotional domains, and (2) the eco-biological model of development, specifically, the interaction of environment and biology and their influence on development.[1][2 ...

We, as teachers, need to facilitate the development of a psychologically safe environment that promotes positive social interaction. As children interact openly with their peers, they learn more about each other as individuals, and they begin building a history of interactions.
Social-emotional development includes the child’s experience, expression, and management of emotions and the ability to establish positive and rewarding relationships with others (Cohen and others 2005). It encompasses both intra- and interpersonal processes. The core features of emotional development include the ability to identify ...
Young children who exhibit healthy social, emotional, and behavioral adjustment are more likely to have good academic performance in elementary school (Cohen and others 2005; Zero to Three 2004). The sharp distinction between cognition and emotion that has historically been made may be more of an artifact of scholarship than it is representative of the way these processes occur in the brain (Barrett and others 2007). This recent research strengthens the view that early childhood programs support later positive learning outcomes in all domains by maintaining a focus on the promotion of healthy social emotional development (National Scientific Council on the Developing Child 2004; Raver 2002; Shonkoff 2004).
The concept of empathy reflects the social nature of emotion, as it links the feelings of two or more people (Levenson and Ruef 1992). Since human life is relationship-based, one vitally important function of empathy over the life span is to strengthen social bonds (Anderson and Keltner 2002).
Positive emotions appeal to social partners and seem to enable relationships to form, while problematic management or expression of negative emotions leads to difficulty in social relationships (Denham and Weissberg 2004).
Infants experience, express, and perceive emotions before they fully understand them. In learning to recognize, label, manage, and communicate their emotions and to perceive and attempt to understand the emotions of others, children build skills that connect them with family, peers, teachers, and the community.
The core features of emotional development include the ability to identify and understand one’s own feelings, to accurately read and comprehend emotional states in others, to manage strong emotions and their expression in a constructive manner, to regulate one’s own behavior, to develop empathy for others, and to establish and maintain relationships.

This case study explores cognitive, motivational and socio-emotional challenges experienced in collaborative learning, how conflict emerges and what students’ emotional reactions and interpretations are. Collaborative work of 22 higher education students was followed during a three-month course.
Unresolved cognitive, motivational and socio-emotional challenges and conflicts can be detrimental for effective collaborative learning, as they arouse negative emotions, frustration and even anger and move the focus of the group away from on-task activities ( Ayoko, Callan, & Härtel, 2008 ).
Many things can go wrong during collaborative learning ( Van den Bossche, Gijselaers, Segers, & Kirschner, 2006 ), even when group activity is carefully pedagogically designed ( Kirschner, Sweller, & Clark, 2006 ).
The word emotion is used in everyday language to refer ‘affectively charged cognitions, feelings, moods, affect, and well-being’ ( Boekaerts, 2011, p. 412). Frijda (1988) explained that emotions provide energy and affect all cognitive processes: attention, recall, decision making, and problem solving.
A case study approach ( Yin, 2008) was implemented as a research method given the need for an in-depth understanding of the collaborative learning in its real-life context. In practice, the research design of the study employed a single case study with multiple embedded units of analysis.
6.1. What kind of challenges did the groups experience during collaborative learning?
This study emphasises the importance of recognising and responding to socio-emotional challenges in group work.
According to Erikson, the psychosocial stage associated with early childhood is initiative versus guilt. - At this point in development, children have become convinced that they are persons of their own; during early childhood, they begin to discover what kind of person they will become.
The heteronomous thinker also believes in immanent justice, the concept that if a rule is broken, punishment will be meted out immediately.
Among Baumrind's four parenting styles, authoritative parenting clearly conveys the most benefits to the child and to the family as a whole.
Culture, schools, peers, the media, and other family members also provide gender role models are other influences as well.
In many cultures, mothers socialize their daughters to be more obedient and responsible than their sons.
Interest in how children think about moral issues was stimulated by Piaget (1932), who extensively observed and interviewed children from ages 4 through 12.
has conducted a number of research studies on siblings, says that not intervening and letting sibling conflict escalate are not good strategies.
Not only that, but they continued to benefit as adults. They were more satisfied at work, had better relationships, and enjoyed overall better well-being than people without this training .
That all sounds great, but what exactly are socio-emotional abilities? In a nutshell, they’re “tools for life”. A study conducted by Dr. Joseph Durlak at the University of Illinois found that this set of competencies is the result of combining the emotional lessons that happen at home and at school with the individual’s personal emotional development.
We say that because, as you may have noticed, humans are in a constant struggle with the emotional world. That’s why some schools are starting to incorporate socio-emotional skills into their curriculums. They hope to help students develop these crucial abilities that’ll serve them for the rest of their lives.
According to Daniel Goleman, you should be channeling your emotions onto a more productive path. It’s possible that, so far, your emotions have only brought you stress and anxiety. They can do so much more, and they should. Your emotions should set you on the path to well-being and contentment. They can only do that, however, if you’re aware of them. If something is bothering you, look for the emotion behind it (sadness, anger, and frustration, among others). Name what you’re feeling and give it some space. Recognize it and try to listen to the message it’s sending you.
Making responsible decisions, building emotionally nuturing relationship, and knowing how to resolve conflicts are principles of well-being. Learn more about social-emotional skills in today's article.
Self-awareness. This is the ability to recognize emotions and their relationship with thoughts and behaviors.
Social awareness. The ability to connect with others by understanding realities other than your own. The ability to communicate, express yourself, know how to listen, and know how to solve problems are also very important. Good decision-making is another important skill in this category.
