Defining socio-emotional and moral development



An analysis of the cases presented below offer an interesting beginning point in understanding the features of socio-emotional and moral development  among children.
Radha is very happy child. She takes initiative in all activities at the school. She is quite popular among her peer group as she is always ready to help them. She is regular and sincere in her work. 
Invariable, you will find Akshay sitting in corner who appears unhappy and unwilling to join in activities with other children. He does not mix with any body.  He does not copy the homework. 
You will quite often find ranjan teasing or beating somebody.  He just does not listen to anyone. parents and teachers are tried of  him because there will  always be complaints against him.
Each of these cases gives us some  ideas of the socio- emotional and  moral development of the particular child. Emotional developments do not takes place in a social vaccum.
As you now know,

Radha is a happy child and always ready to help others.

Akshay is very shy.

Ranjan is quite naughty.

You may wonder what causes these individual differences.
The causes consist of an interrelated set of factors.

Preschoolers



Preschoolers continue to use their mother/father figures as secure base to explore the enviornment. At this stage, they can tolerate short separation from their parents. But, still they are strongly attached to and dependent on them. The most significant change one find is their extension of attachment to other adults and to other children. These attachment behaviours are often called attention.
