Emotional Development in Young Children

This book deals with the phenomenon of early human development by exploring the very beginnings of emotional competence in young children.

It explores what toddlers and preschoolers understand about their own and other people?s feelings; the connections between emotions, socialization, and healthy relationships; how changes in other areas of development fuel emotional competencies; and what problems ensue when emotional development is delayed, and how they can be ameliorated.

Containing case studies, original findings, and a review of the current literature, this book sheds light on the emotional experience of the very young and points toward exciting directions for future research.
