Why Emotional Development Is Important?
Social development provides the basis for how we feel about
ourselves and we experience others. The quality of relationship a
child develops with his/her primary caregivers has the greatest
influence on the later social emotional development.
Positive and nurturing early experiences/relationships have a
significant impact on child’s social and emotional development. They
also influence how the child's brain develops. Interaction with the
primary caregivers and surroundings have a long-lasting influence
on how the child feels about himself and what does he/she expects
from others.
