Social and Emotional Development

In chapter 14, of BEGINNINGS & BEYOND Foundations in Early Childhood ( I have uploaded) we learned about
psychosocial development. There are many research articles that contain activities to promote social and emotional skills in children. When early childhood professionals want to research some current articles in the field, we look for them on
the National Association for the Education of Young Children website, which has articles from their peer-reviewed
Young Children journal publication.

Begin by going to the National Association for the Education of Young Children website.
Then click on RESOURCES on the blue band in the home page.
Then click on TOPICS. Then scroll down to SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL DEVELOPMENT and click.
This area contains a list of articles.

Choose two articles, state the title, author(s), date of publication, and highlight the main points.

Then, from what you learned in the readings, describe 3 activities you could facilitate in your current or imagined early
childhood classroom that promote social and/or emotional skills and learning.
Describe each activity and why it supports social and emotional learning. Your activities should be age specific to
children less than age 6.
State the specific age you are creating the activities for.
Please cite the textbook and readings to support your discussion.
