The Development of Emotional Competence in Young Children - Susanne A Denham - Bog

This engaging, authoritative text synthesizes a vast body of research on how young children develop the ability to understand, express, and manage their emotions, as well as the impact of these capacities on relationships, school readiness, and overall well-being. Illustrated with vivid vignettes, the book explains specific ways that parents, teachers, and education systems can foster or hinder emotional competence, and reviews relevant assessments and interventions. Compelling topics include cultural variations in emotion socialization, risk factors for delays in emotional development, and connections between emotional competence and social-emotional learning.
