Emotional Development

Emotional Development explores how children gradually learn to understand, express, and regulate emotions through relationships and repeated experience. It brings together the core processes that shape emotional regulation, co-regulation, stress, resilience, self-regulation, and nervous system development, helping explain how everyday moments of support, repair, and connection influence behavior and long-term wellbeing.
