Emotional and Social Development
When an infant or toddler is healthy and happy, he or she is more likely to engage in learning. Physical development and health can help prepare infants and toddlers for activities that support language development, social skills, and other areas of learning for school success. The first 2 years of life is an amazing time of growth and change, both physically and mentally. Babies experiment with and learn from the environment around them. Beyond physical, thinking, and language tasks, babies are learning about social and emotional tasks. Babies can feel interest, distress, disgust, and happiness from birth, and can communicate these through facial expressions and body posture. These attitudes help their carers adapt their behavior to the baby`s emotional state. a baby`s tears, for example, may be an expression of his or distress and primary needs (to be fed or changed or to lie down).
