Study Notes
Emotional Development in Early Childhood
- Emotional competence, including understanding and regulating emotions, improves during early childhood.
- Gains in executive function, language development, theory-of-mind, and social-emotional experiences contribute to this development.
- Temperament and culture significantly influence emotional development in young children.
Emotional Understanding
- Children's understanding of emotions becomes more accurate and complex as they age.
- They develop the ability to recognize others' emotions, infer the causes of those emotions, and predict the consequences.
- Children with strong emotional understanding tend to have better social awareness, stronger peer relationships, and higher academic achievement.
Emotional Self-Regulation
- Improved emotional self-regulation abilities are related to the use of strategies, such as calming techniques or seeking support.
- Observing parents effectively regulate their own emotions contributes to children's own emotional regulation skills.
- Gains in executive function and cognitive maturation play a crucial role in the development of emotional self-regulation.
Self-Conscious Emotions
- Young children are still developing their sense of right and wrong, relying on adults to guide their understanding of guilt, shame, and pride.
- They experience these self-conscious emotions intensely, particularly reacting to praise and criticism.
- Encouraging children to focus on improvement after mistakes can moderate shame and lead to greater persistence in tasks.

Initiative vs. Guilt (3-6 years)
- In Erikson's third stage of psychosocial development, children (ages 3 to 6) experience the conflict of initiative vs. guilt.
- This stage emphasizes the desire to try new things, develop skills, and take charge in activities.
- Children are actively seeking to build a sense of purposefulness and self-reliance.
- Overly critical guidance or excessive control can lead to feelings of guilt and hinder the child's growth of initiative.
- Play is a primary vehicle for children to explore initiative in this stage.
Initiative vs. Guilt
- This is Erikson's third stage of psychosocial development, which happens between the ages of 3 to 6 years old.
- During this stage, children start to experiment with new tasks, skills, and initiate their own activities.
- Children thrive on independence and exploring new things.
- Successful exploration and experimentation results in a sense of purposefulness, creating a positive sense of self.
- Overly controlling environments that stifle initiative and criticism can lead to guilt and a sense of inadequacy.
- Play is a critical factor in this stage of development, as it allows children to explore their abilities and develop self-confidence.
