El Desarrollo Socioemocional de Bebes y Niños Pequeños
El desarrollo socioemocional es la habilidad de un niño de entender los sentimientos de otros, controlar sus
propios sentimientos y conductas, y llevarse bien con los pares. Para que los niños logren las habilidades básicas
que ellos necesitan como la cooperación, siguiendo direcciones, demostrando autodominio y como pegar atención
provechosa, ellos deben tener las habilidades socioemocionales. El desarrollo socioemocional saludable es vital
para el éxito futuro en la escuela y en la vida. La más gran influencia en el desarrollo socioemocional de un niño
es la calidad de sus relaciones con sus cuidadores primarios. En este taller vamos a mirar a lo que usted puede
hacer para apoyar el desarrollo socioemocional en los niños desde el nacimiento hasta la edad de tres años.
