The development of social emotional skills begins in infancy and continues into adolescence. Key milestones include:
- Infancy: Babies start to form attachments, recognize emotions, and respond to social interactions. - Toddlerhood: Toddlers begin to express their emotions more clearly, demonstrate empathy, and develop self-regulation skills. - Preschool: Children learn to play cooperatively, share, and understand the concept of taking turns. - School Age: Kids develop more complex social skills, such as problem-solving, conflict resolution, and understanding social norms. - Adolescence: Teenagers refine their social emotional skills, develop a stronger sense of identity, and form more sophisticated relationships.
