"Research has shown that it is during the first few years of a child's life that cognitive capabilities, relational understanding, language, motor skills and emotional regulation are all developed and enhanced, and that each of these element acts as an important influencing factor in character formation and development. In fact, these first experiences, according to many professionals, are significant building blocks that form the foundation from which springs all future individual development (Barnes P., Personal, Social and Emotional Development, 1992)."

From the Paper
"In a less broad sense, teachers must be aware of the individual emotional needs of their students in order to help them develop positive emotional health. Assessing and targeting specific covert and overt behaviors for improvement for individual students will aid in fostering positive emotional health. For example, the student who puts herself down may need to receive a reprimand for speaking poorly of herself. Or, the teacher of this same student may need to make a conscious effort to praise her in the areas in which she exhibits low self-esteem in an attempt to increase self-esteem. Or, the teacher may need to utilize a token reinforcement strategy and reward the student with token reinforcement when the she speaks positively of herself (Bray, Kehle & Marini-Scully, 2000)."

Abstract
This paper examines traditional schools of thought on childhood emotional development, recent research and probable future directions. The paper explains that one of the most important motivators for positive emotional childhood development is the social environment. The paper then points out that children who enjoy healthy positive social relationships tend to develop more proficiently on an academic and sporting scale; they are also more likely to have greater self-esteem and self-worth than those who endure relationship problems. The paper also looks at how the personality of adolescents is a very important part of childhood emotional development. The paper suggests that the development of children in modern times has been associated with sweeping global changes, perhaps most notably the Internet.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"It is for this reason that children are taught at school from an early age the importance of practicing good social skills and engaging in pro-social behaviors. The importance of a positive social environment for children has been recognized by research which suggests that social development problems cause greater problems over time, leading to adult mental health problems (ibid, p. 98). However, approaches to implementing social skills in children have varied over the decades. Thinking in the 1970s revolved primarily around three schools of thought. The psychoanalytical school of thought maintained that through interpretation of unconscious thoughts, children develop a latent awareness related to appropriate social behaviors. The humanistic approach suggested that children benefit most from empathy and accepting environmental conditions, and that these preconditions were sufficient for future emotional development. The third approach, the behavior modification approach, proposed that appropriate behaviors be treated with reinforcement, increasing the chance that healthy behaviors would appear as the child developed (ibid)."

Abstract
Emotional development in early childhood is highly complex. This paper shows that toddlers are pulling from information, emotions and abilities they learned during infancy to expand their emotional development. They are learning new emotions, learning to socialize in groups, and to develop cognitively and physically all at the same time. The paper explains that as the children enter preschool age, 4 to 5 years of age, they are developing many emotional states such as coming to realize that they have emotions that are their own. They are also learning that other people have emotions of their own as well. The paper shows that all of these developments will happen naturally in children, but parents, caretakers, and teachers are responsible for assisting children to develop to the norm.

From the Paper
According to Saarni, Mumme, and Campos (1998) the working definition of emotion is that it is closely linked to what a person, in this case a child is trying to do. They state a??emotion is thus the persona??s attempt or readiness to establish, maintain, or change the relation between the person and the environment or matters of significance to that person (Saarni et al., 1998 p. 238). Emotions are not random, they are manifested from events or factors as depicted in table 1.1, a recreation of Barrett and Campos as found in Saarni et al. (1998 p. 239). In this paper I will discuss the new emotions to be dealt with in early childhood, the goal of socioemotional competence, emotional conversation, and the parents or caretakers role in the emotional development of a child.

Abstract
This paper focuses on the process of emotional development in the young person and, in particular, on the barriers to emotional development in school-age children. The paper looks at ways in which schools can work to remove these barriers and build self-esteem among all students, especially those who may be at special risk for emotional problems because of poverty, abuse, or other social and experiential factors. In an attempt to understand the process of emotional development as it should occur in emotionally healthy children, the paper examines the theories of three psychologists whose work continues to dominate our thinking on this issue: Piaget, Kohlberg, and Erikson.
From the Paper
"Kohlberg, following in the footsteps of Piaget, argues that the process of developing a sense of morality is hierarchical and highly patterned one in which each step must be mastered before the next one can be essayed. Reimer (1990) summarizes Kohlberg?s three stages of moral development (each of which includes sub stages), arguing that all children begin life with what he terms pre-conventional reasoning or morality. At this stage, all children decide how to act based on their assessment of their own self interest, including whether or not they are likely to be punished for an action if an adult discovers them performing it."

Abstract
This paper investigates the emotional development process in early adulthood. The paper examines the relationship between emotional development during early adulthood and the experiences of love and mate selection. Also addressed are the role that emotional development plays in lifestyle choices and the changes that occur in adulthood.
From the Paper
"Individuals need to effectively deal with the presenting conflict of a current developmental stage in order to advance onto the next stage of development. Therefore, young adults need to work out issues of intimacy versus isolation in order to successfully leave young adulthood and graduate onto adulthood, which presents a different main conflict. Research has indicated that a necessary component for a capacity for intimacy is the achievement of a strong identity, and it has been found that this differs between men and women (Carver & Scheier, 1996). The presence of strong identities was found to be predictive of whether or not men got married, while it predicted the likelihood of a lasting marriage in women (Carver & Scheier, 1996)."

Abstract
This paper outlines Eric Erikson's theories on human development, the environmental perspective of human development, and Thorndike's law about human development and motivation, and examines how each approach defines human moral, behavioral, and emotional development in terms of social interaction.
From the Paper
"The theories concerning human psychological and cognitive development are seen as dichotomized between 'nature' and 'nurture' or between innate (born within the individual) and, or, external social forces. The question of how deviant behavior originates, whether it naturally occurs according to a person's characteristics or whether it is a matter of environmental influences has never been completely answered."

Emotional Development and Self-Esteem, 2005.

Abstract
This paper outlines six of Erickson's eight stages of emotional development, including basic trust versus basic mistrust, autonomy verses shame and doubt, initiative versus guilt, industry versus inferiority, and identity versus role confusion. In addition to the stages of development, this paper also touches on the importance of self-esteem and includes suggestions on how educators can promote positive self-esteem in the classroom.
From the Paper
"Understanding the emotional development in early childhood through adulthood, leads us to understanding the importance of self-esteem. Through our experiences with the world, we as human beings, form concepts of causal relationships. We formulate opinions of ourselves based upon the collected experiences of life. Some are fortunate enough to grow and develop in positive nurturing environments that foster optimal beliefs systems. Others have a more difficult time remaining positive about themselves and life in general. Just as people form concepts regarding the behavior of inanimate objects, animals, and other human beings, they also form a concept of themselves, of what they are like, of how they will react in various situations. The concept people form of themselves stated positively or negatively, is their self-esteem."

"The purpose of this research is to examine issues surrounding the emotional development of children exposed to drugs at the prenatal stage. The plan of the research will be to set forth a working definition of emotional development and more generally the context for investigating this topic, and then to discuss ways in which emotional development is compromised by prenatal exposure to drugs known to have toxic properties at each developmental stage, as well as programs that may be available to both parents and children that come within the meaning of the problem area.

Abstract
This paper reviews how thecognitive, emotional and physical development of a child is impacted because of being raised by a single parent. In particular, the paper argues that single parenthood in and of itself is not necessarily a bad thing, but rather that many single parents are ill-equipped educationally, temperamentally, cognitively and psychologically for the stresses of single parenthood and their struggles create complications for their children. Moreover, the paper offers some policy suggestions for improving single parent homes, for political elites and scholars.

Conclusion: Recommendations For Helping Children In Single Parent Households Reach Their Full Potential (Along With Policy Implications And Future Research Directions)
From the Paper
"On that note, it is important that educators and health officials begin by doing what they can to involve single parents in the school endeavors and extra-curricular activities of their children. For instance, a 1986 study by Weber took note of the fact that parents of mentally handicapped children who fail to attend individualized educational plans (IEPs) are usually non-white, come from lower economic backgrounds and are single parents; they also tended to be people who placed more responsibility for their children's educational programs in the hands of professionals (Weber, 1986). If there is one thing that needs to be done, it is to educate single parents about the importance of their becoming active participants in decisions that will ultimately effect the kind of care and attention their loved ones receive; without their involvement, it is entirely possible that the one voice that can argue most impassionedly on behalf of their children will be the one voice that no one hears."

Abstract
A look at the changes in families such as divorce and one-parent families and how these may impact children's development. The author looks at the effects of such changes on the normal functioning and emotional development of the child.
From the Paper
"The American family is in a state of crisis and change. The traditional image of the father, who is the sole bread-winner and the mother, who stays home to raise the children and run the house, has been shattered by drastic changes in family structure over the past generation. Today, 50 percent of marriages end in divorce. Two-thirds of mothers with school age children work outside the home. And 70 percent of all children spend part of their childhood in a single parent home. Some changes, like greater equality in the home and in the workplace, are welcome. Yet, many of the changes add new stresses to family life threaten healthy child development. (Melvin, 1997)."

"Poor communication skills put children at risk of overall poor relationships with their peers ? which lead to more and more social and emotional problems, which in turn are likely to lead to intellectual problems. These, of course, in their turn, will make it more and more difficult for the child to acquire needed communication skills. As Lawrence (1988) argues, this is a cycle that must be, for the sake of the affected child, interrupted as quickly as possible."

Abstract
Mother, father, and child define the ideal family structure. However, circumstance seems to overrule idealism in an imperfect world. What we have remaining is family structures that are forced to adapt to situations such as death, divorce, and incarceration. These alternative family structures affect the development of children involved. The most common alternative structure is that in which the father is absent. This paper views the effects of paternal absence in children's lives, in cognitive and emotional development, and in continuing adult life.
From the Paper
"Family structure, ideally with biological mother and father, is of great importance in a child's development, especially during the child's first two years of life called a sensitive period by Burton (1972). Alternative family structures occur most often because of paternal absence, although maternal absence does exist. Divorce or separation, death, addictions, incarceration, and career demands frequently cause a child to grow without the presence of a father. A father may also leave as he feels the son a rival for his wife's attention (Jacobsohn, 1976). Regardless of circumstance, roughly two million children a year are withheld an ongoing biological and social relationship with their father. It has been consistently shown that higher cognitive skills, greater emotional stability and maturity, greater academic achievements and more security in their gender role comes to those children with the biological father in residence as opposed to those raised with no father (see Adams, Milner, & Schrepf, 1984; Bereczkei & Csanaky, 1996; Biller & Solomon, 1986; Hanson, McLanahan, & Thomson, 1996; Stevenson & Black, 1988)."
