Social & Emotional Development
Caring and connected adults support children’s social and emotional development.
Social and emotional learning is developed through relationships and safe and supportive environments. All children are born wired for interactions with loving, emotionally responsive adults. These interactions provide a foundation for ongoing, positive social and emotional development, including learning to identify feelings, regulate emotions, and how to adapt to different social settings. Explore the resources below for ways you can support your child’s social and emotional development.
To help a child when they are having a meltdown or during a tantrum, parents need to understand what’s causing it. This is hard because it could be fear, anger, frustration, or something else. Try to think of a tantrum as a reaction to something upsetting. Your child isn’t responding in the way a grown-up would, by talking or asking for what they want. Instead, they cry or yell. If you give in to tantrums, kids will learn that having a tantrum will get them what they want.
