Socioemotional Development in the Toddler Years Transitions and Transformations

This volume explores the key developmental transitions that take place as 1- to 3-year-olds leave infancy behind and begin to develop the social and emotional knowledge, skills, and regulatory abilities of early childhood. Leading investigators examine the multiple, interacting factors that lead to socioemotional competence in this pivotal period, covering both typical and atypical development. Presented are innovative research programs that have yielded compelling insights into toddlers' relationships, emotions, play, communication, prosocial behavior, self-control, autonomy, and attempts to understand themselves and others. The final chapter presents a systematic framework for socioemotional assessment.Brownell, Celia A. is the author of 'Socioemotional Development in the Toddler Years Transitions and Transformations', published 2007 under ISBN 9781593854966 and ISBN 159385496X.
