- Title
How Emotional Development Unfolds Starting at Birth.
- Authors
THOMPSON, ROSS
- Abstract
Ross Thompson, PhD, professor of psychology at the University of California, Davis, and a ZERO TO THREE Board Member responds to questions about the capacity of infants and toddlers to experience complex emotions and about how parents and caregivers can support early social and emotional development. He underscores the importance of allowing children to experience a wide range of emotions--including frustration and anger--as vital to their sense of competence and mastery. Furthermore, parents need support so that they can provide the kind of emotional support to their children that they need to thrive.
