Social and emotional development impact on physical and cogn…

In this discussion, we are going to explore how social and emotional development can affect the physical and cognitive development during the lifespan stages of (a) infancy and toddlerhood (Birth to age 3), and (b) early childhood (Ages 3-6). To answer the above question, “How does social and emotional development affect the physical and cognitive development in infancy and the preschool years?”, this will require, first, dividing this discussion into two groups: The group that will discuss the infancy/toddlerhood aspect; and another group that will discuss the preschool years/early childhood aspect. Here is how we are going to accomplish this: Group 1: Infancy/Toddlerhood (Birth to age 3) First, you will watch the YouTube video, “Why Love Matters by Sue Gerhardt: 9 Minute Summary”, which is a summarized version of Gerhardt’s (2014) book, Why Love Matters: How Affection Shapes a Baby’s Brain (and if you have the book, that is fine as well). In addition to what you have learned in the texts and slides dealing with the physical, cognitive, social, and emotional developments that take place during infancy and toddlerhood, write a post concluding how important social and emotional development is with infants and toddlers that would affect their physical and cognitive development throughout and in the future. Group 2: Preschool/Early Childhood (Ages 3-6) First, you will watch the YouTube video, “Early Childhood Social and Emotional Learning”, which is a glimpse of how social and emotional learning is being taught in Wisconsin public schools (WisconsinDPI, 2018). In addition to what you have learned in the texts and slides dealing with the physical, cognitive, social, and emotional developments that take place during the preschool years/early childhood, write a post concluding how important social and emotional development is with children in the preschool/early childhood years that would affect their physical and cognitive development throughout and in the future. NOTE: When you choose your group, please make sure you indicate which group you chose with your name when you make your initial discussion post. Your initial post should have at least 250 words. Once you have completed your initial post, please comment under two or more students’ posts, which should be at least 40-60 words minimum. These responses should be meaningful, also including whether you agree with the findings of the topics that were presented in the discussion posts. Additionally, include 1-2 questions of what you would like to know more of.
