- Synopsis
- The field of early childhood education has a long tradition of concern for the social and emotional development of young children. The comprehensive classical work of Susan Isaacs -- one of the early specialists in the field -- titled “Social Development in Young Children” that addressed these topics was first published in 1937.1 In more recent times it has become clear that unless a child achieves at least a minimal level of social competence by about the age of six, he or she is likely to be at risk for many social difficulties for the rest of his or her life (Parker & Asher, 1987).2 Currently, research reports appear almost daily indicating that early social relationships predict academic achievement as well as school completion and dropout rates (see Ladd et al., 2008).3 This book is a welcome, comprehensive overview of all facets of this important aspect of development. With its highly readable form and structure, it will be helpful to students as well as practitioners whose work involves them in the development of young children. The book is divided into three main sections that address emotional learning, social learning, and related concerns beyond the classroom such as cultural and community matters. Several sidebars offered throughout are especially helpful in linking the discussions of the various components of social and emotional development to promising teaching practices.
