    Study Notes

    Early Childhood Psychosocial Development

    • Emotional regulation is the ability to control when and how emotions are expressed. Connections between the limbic system and prefrontal cortex contribute to this ability.
    • Initiative vs Guilt: This is Erikson's third psychosocial crisis. Children try new skills and activities during this stage. Failure to succeed can lead to feelings of guilt.
    • Pride in Oneself: A topic related to emotional development in early childhood.

      • Authoritative: Parents set limits and enforce rules with flexibility and communication.
      • Neglectful/uninvolved: Parents are indifferent and unaware of their children's lives.
