Chen, Feiyan – Early Child Development and Care, 2022
Early development of emotion regulation plays a vital role in children's school readiness and later academic success.

Pala, F. Cansu; Lewis, Charlie – European Journal of Developmental Psychology, 2021
A grasp of the fact that emotional displays may not match a person's underlying feelings has been thought to develop in the elementary school years. Two prominent scales address the issue of how one might feel a negative feeling but need to display an different expression. Data from these scales suggest that children's comprehension of the need to…

Hee Jeung Han; David Kellogg – Early Years: An International Journal of Research and Development, 2024
This paper, conceptual but with empirical support, fills in some blanks in Vygotsky's reworking of Spinoza's "Ethics." Here Vygotsky sought to develop a developmental theory of emotions that would fit his developmental theory of higher psychological functions; that is, one which used function to explain how structure changes (much as…

Luke, Jessica J.; Brenkert, Sarah; Rivera, Nicole – Journal of Early Childhood Research, 2022
Interest in social emotional learning (SEL) is higher than ever, as parents, educators, and policymakers recognize that children need more than cognitive skills for later life success. However, most SEL research has been conducted in formal education settings. This article describes results from an empirical study of 4-5 years old SEL in two…

Anna Johnson Dammann – ProQuest LLC, 2023
Sleep is important for child development. Sleep problems in early childhood are associated with negative outcomes across numerous domains, including executive control, internalizing and externalizing psychopathology, and social competence (Astill et al., 2012; Hysing et al., 2016; Spruyt et al., 2019). Little research has focused on moderators…

Shaw, Janet – Early Child Development and Care, 2021
The paper looks at the relevance of W.R. Bion's 'Theory of Thinking' to the interpretation of young child observations. Bion describes a process whereby emotional experience, when contained by a caregiver, gives rise to a capacity for symbol formation, which is at the root of imagination and language. The study consists of eight written hour-long…
