It is important for educators to understand this theory to better asses how to interact with children. How to handle different situation and emotions, scaffold the children through their development. Knowing and understanding unconditional love, how to motive the kids in order for them to build self confidence and strive in activities and curriculums.
2.How can this theory be useful or applied in early childhood settings?
This theory can be applied in early childhood settings by allowing the kids to interact with children in different activities, talking to them through a conflict and allowing them to reflect on a better way to approach things. Letting children explore different activities and play with different kids in each one, to help them asses their own capabilities.
Letting the kids fail in certain activities to let them understand that improvements can be made in order to achieve that skills. Scaffolding all of the stages in more ways than just one. Overall, applying support, unconditional love, trust and encouragement.

Kohlberg’s theory about moral development goes on to describe how children develop the senses of knowing right from wrong. To later expanding it to try to analyze why, and how it happened. To question if there should be consequences for actions or if their actions are self explained and not need consequences. Then way I understand it is, children have to learn when things are right and wrong, and later develop their own thoughts and feeling as to how actions taken should be approached.
1.As early childhood educators, why is it important to understand this theory?
It is important to understand this theory as an educator due to the fact that small children are learning how to handle situations at a very early stage in life. It is also important to understand this theory so we can help guide the children in learning how to approach situations where they may fell they did something wrong and need to be punished for them or rewarded in some form for their good actions. To know that this is part of their development and know how to respond, act when helping out students struggling with this specific stage of development.
2.How can this theory be useful or applied in early childhood settings?
This theory can be useful and applied in early childhood but one allowing the kids to have their own opinions or thoughts as to what consequences actions have. But also talking to them about why they think that, and how it can be handled. It can be applied when a child is playing with another then get into a physical confrontation, or verbal confrontation, guiding them to take the steps needed to analyze what has happened and how to work though it. Understanding that they don’t have to be afraid if they made a “bad choice” (I don’ t like thinking children make bad choices), and the issue can be properly discussed.
Having a behavior char or accomplishment chart so they can visually see their positive actions have a sense of reward and admiration by their peers. This allows them to comprehend morally good actions and behaviors attracts positive feed back from those around them.
5.What is Bandura’s theory of social learning?
Learning that occurs as a function of observing, retaining and replication behavior observed in other.
1.As early childhood educators why is important to understand this theory ( think past aggression and other implications social learning or observational learning can have)?
Understanding and dissecting this theory is important to help us educators understand that what children see in modeled behavior they may demonstrated as well. Understanding that their behaviors are modeled by what they see their peers do, or what TV or other social outlet’s put out that they are taking in. This theory also helps us understand that behavior is adopted from many different outlets and modeling children see and hear and interact with.
2.How can the theory be useful or applied in early childhood settings?
This theory can be applied by modeling positive behavior, both physically and verbally. Reading and acting out positive books, plays or speaking about positive interactions they may have seen before. Allowing the children to talk about what behaviors they think are socially acceptable and why, or how it affects them and those around them. It can also be useful to articulate how to help and support the child and speak to their families about ways to support positive behavior at home or outside of school.
6.What teachers can do to support social-emotional development in young children (include Erikson and Bandura and Kohlberg in your response)?
Teachers can demonstrate unconditional love, trust and self assertion. Allowing kids to explore their feeling and emotions during stages of social-emotional development. As teachers we can support the children by talking about positive behavior and aggressive behavior, demonstrate the differences and the affect each has. Another way to support this development is by guiding children to make connections and friendships with their peers, letting them play in different ares with different material and figuring out how to problem solve.
In addition we have to support the children by helping them understand decisions making, wether it’s positive or negative an what consequence each has.

Great ?
This is great!
Hi Arelis,
I enjoyed reading this ! great Job. very detailed and clear.
What is social-emotional development?
Social-emotional development refers to the growth of children’s ability to identify and understand their own feelings and emotions and those of other people. It helps them feel empathy and establish relationships. The process allows them to manage and express their emotions and regulate their own behavior.
What are the components or social-emotional development?
The five core components of social-emotional development are self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making.
What is Erikson theory of Psychosocial Development?
Why is it important for early childhood educators to understand this theory?
How can this theory be useful or applied in early childhood settings?
In Erikson’s theory of Psychosocial Development there are eight stages of psychosocial development, from infancy to adulthood. And successful completion of each stage results in a healthy personality and the acquisition of basic virtues, but failure to successfully complete a stage can result in a reduced ability to complete further stages and therefore a more unhealthy personality and sense of self. This theory is important to understand because it is a more realistic perspective of personality development. It’s important to make sure all children’s needs are being satisfied and we are not neglecting any part of them because it is critical to their social-emotional development.
What is Kohlberg’s theory of moral development?
As early childhood educators, why is it important to understand this theory?
How can this theory be useful or applied in early childhood settings?
Kohlberg’s theory of moral development is a six stage theory. And each of the stages is grouped into three, higher-order levels of development: 1) the Pre-Conventional Level, 2) the Conventional Level, and 3) the Post-Conventional or Principled Level. Stage 1: the punishment and obedience orientation, stage 2: the instrumental purpose orientation, stage 3: the morality of interpersonal cooperation, stage 4: the social-order-maintaining orientation, stage 5: the social-contract orientation, and stage 6: the universal ethical principle orientation. According to him, children tend to follow these rules but primarily for selfish reasons, it’s a way of avoiding punishment and getting praise for themselves. They know that good behaviors get them praise and positive regards from peers and adults, while bad choices have unpleasant consequences and negative regards.
What is Bandura’s theory of social learning?
As early childhood educators why is important to understand this theory ( think past aggression and other implications social learning or observational learning can have)?
How can the theory be useful or applied in early childhood settings?
The environment plays a large part in learning. We model the behavior of the people around us. There are three main parts to this theory, we learn by observing others, our mental state is important in the learning process, and learning doesn’t always mean there will be a change in behavior. This can be applied in early childhood settings by modeling examples of good behavior so the students can follow that
What teachers can do to support social-emotional development in young children (include Erikson and Bandura and Kohlberg in your response)?
Teachers can support children’s social-emotional development by being affectionate and nurturing, using facial expressions, gestures and words to attentively respond to infants’ and toddlers’ attempts to communicate, planning meaningful and fun experiences for the children while acknowledging their differences and backgrounds, reaching out to the families of children to learn about their preferred methods of interaction with their children, planning activities and experiences that help children develop their social skills, feeling of empathy, respect for others, and sense of achievement, and creating a learning environment that acts as a community and allows children to feel that they belong to a group.
Great job
Sydnie, I agree with your point on Kohlberg’s theory when you said children will do what is right for the reward. I am a believer in giving them the reward (tangible or oral) for the behavior displayed and they grow knowing what is acceptable or not.
Hi Sydnie,
really great job! it is clear you understand the theories very well.
What is social-emotional development?
Social emotional development represents a specific domain of child development. It is a gradual, integrative process through which children acquire the capacity to understand, experience, express, and manage emotions and to develop meaningful relationships with others.
What are the components of social-emotional development?
There are five components of social-emotional development. The first component is self awareness. The second component is self management and the third component is social awareness. The fourth component is relationship skill. The fifth and last component is responsible decision making.
What is Erikson theory of Psychosocial Development?
The Erikson theory of Psychosocial Development is that infants need to trust adults because if their care is inconsistent then they may develop mistrust in the world around them.
Why is it important for early childhood educators to understand this theory?
It is important for early childhood educators to understand this theory because it is a good theory that shows early educators they need to have consistent care for their students through clear communication.
How can this theory be useful or applied in early childhood settings?
This theory creates a basic understanding that educators need to have patience and consistent kindness towards their students so they grow up trusting the world around themselves.
What is Kohlberg’s theory of moral development?
As early childhood educators, why is it important to understand this theory?
Kohlberg’s theory of moral development is important because teachers need to teach the kids moral (good) behavior. Since an educator wants their kids to perform illegal activities as they get older, the Kohlberg moral development theory will provide an opportunity for the educator to assess the child’s moral development and create reactionary responses that will assist the child and move them in a more moral direction if need be. If the child appears to have a conventional moral response to the case study, the educator can maintain that strong moral character in the child with positive reinforcement.
How can this theory be useful or applied in early childhood settings?
By understanding the Kohlberg theory or moral development, an early childhood educator will receive a class lesson where the educator will present the “Heinz” case study and have a conversation about it which will allow them to critically think about their own moral judgements and present opinions as well as reasoning to the educator who will listen to their stories. It will be a good substitute for “story time.”
What is Bandura’s theory of social learning?
As early childhood educators, why is it important to understand this theory ( think past aggression and other implications social learning or observational learning can have)? Social learning theory is helpful because it promotes observation as a means of understanding the social emotional development of the child. By observing their interactions, the experimenter gets an understanding of the child’s behavior. Since the experiment had three conditions, one that rewarded bad behavior, one that punished bad behavior, and one that received no response, the experimenter was able to understand how the reaction to the bad behavior influenced or did influence the repetition of the behavior. The experiment revealed that the child’s observed behavior can be repeated. In fact, the observed behavior increased their likelihood of acting out new bad behavior such as wielding a gun.
How can the theory be useful or applied in early childhood settings?
It can be used to guide childhood educators from limiting the amount of observed bed behavior in the classroom.
What teachers can do to support social-emotional development in young children (include Erikson and Bandura and Kohlberg in your response)?
Teachers can support social-emotional development in young children by using Kohlberg’s theory of moral development to teach them right from wrong in their role as an educator. The teachers should punish the kids if they do something bad because they may think it’s ok to steal or hurt someone when it’s not ok. As role models teachers should teach the students how to do good things and how to be independent. Bandura’s theory tells us that teachers will have to observe the students to know whether they’re doing something bad or good because they might have an innocent face but you won’t know what they’re doing unless you pay close attention to them. Erikson states that children need to trust adults and educators can help to develop this by being honest with them, giving them high-fives, giving them snacks, giving them stickers and consistently showing them that they care.

I reviewed this module
1. What is social-emotional development?
ANSWER: Social emotional is when children are able to understand feelings of others, being able to express themselves and create relationships with others.
2. What are the components or social-emotional development?
ANSWER: some components reflect on children knowing when and if another person is under the weather and asking them if they are ok.
3. What is Erikson theory of Psychosocial Development? (1.) Why is it important for early childhood educators to understand this theory? (2.) How can this theory be useful or applied in early childhood settings?
ANSWER: Personalities develop through eight stages in life, from infant to adulthood. during each stage the person may experience a positive or a negative outcome that becomes their personality development.
6. What teachers can do to support social-emotional development in young children (include Erikson and Bandura and Kohlberg in your response)?
ANSWER: as a teacher we can respect and show them acceptance that they are important and matter to us, love them unconditionally, support them and help them express themselves whether its something positive or some sort aggression.
1. Social-emotional development is centered on the relationships an infant or child has and how they navigate these relationships. It also includes how the child navigates their relationship with themselves in terms of their emotions and how they chose to handle them. At such young ages, social-emotional development is heavily influenced by the way they are treated by their caretakers and how they see others interact with the world.
2. The components of social-emotional development are self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making. Self-awareness is being able to recognize one’s emotions and is capable of analyzing the reasoning behind those emotions and feelings. Self-management is having control over how one reacts and feels in an effective way. Social awareness is how humans empathize with one another and how one gets to better understand the social world. Relationship skills are knowing how to improve and keep healthy relationships. Lastly, responsible decision-making is being able to consider what is the best action to take depending on many factors such as ethics, safety concerns, social norms.
3. Erikson’s theory of psychosocial development is based on stages throughout a person’s life in which they will face one of two outcomes. For early childhood, there are four main stages; trust vs. mistrust, autonomy vs. doubt, initiative vs. guilt, and industry vs. inferiority. All the stages have a virtue that is the center of the stage, such as hope, will, purpose, and competency for the stages above.
1. It is important for early childhood educators to understand this theory in order to understand what the child needs from educators as caretakers and how to interact with them in a way that helps their growth and not hurt their development.
2. It can be applied by assessing what stage the child is at depending on their age and focusing on how to help them in that stage and whether it be by leading them to do things on their own or developing a sense of independence.
4. Kohlberg’s theory of moral development also deals with stages only this time it is centered on how a person might respond to a moral dilemma. There are three levels each with two stages, the levels are pre-conventional, conventional, and post-conventional. The stages are stage one, punishment and obedience, stage two, instrumental purpose, stage three, the morality of interpersonal, stage four, social-order-maintaining, stage five, social-contract, and stage six, the universal ethical principle.
1. It is important to understand this theory so that we may have an insight into how a child views morality and their sense of right and wrong. If we know it centers around punishment or self-interest, then we can help them navigate problems from a point of what the outcome may be or what they will get depending on what they do.
2. This theory is useful in early childhood and can be applied by telling students the consequence of certain actions so that they have a better idea of “punishment”.
5. Bandura’s theory of social learning is when a child witnesses and observes another’s behavior and adopts the same behavior. The theory was tested with an experiment using nursery students watching an adult show aggression towards a doll.
1. It is important to understand this theory because if we as educators are careless about the way we behave around young children and they might start learning from our negative behavior.
2. It can also be implied in the videos we decided to show in the classroom setting.
6. Teachers can support social-emotional development by teaching them how to get along with others and techniques for handling emotions. Teachers can also support them by modeling good behavior and treating their actions with a positive approach.

1. Social emotional Development is the succession and combination of skills and features that the human acquires, from infancy to adulthood, enabling him to interact with surrounding environment and the people involved in his life (parents, relatives, caregivers and social individuals of the society like friends, fellows) in a continuous process of learning, to build his natural role and relationships in family, school, work.
2. the components or social-emotional development are
• Self-awareness
• Self-management
• Social awareness
• Relationship skills
• Responsible decision making.
3. Erikson theory: The Individual goes through a stage of emotional development, and in each stage, there is a struggle between two emotions that the individual is mentally and socially involved enabling him to take choices building his personal self-concept.
A. It is important to early childhood educators to understand Erickson’s theory because children
might go in either positive or negative psychological struggles while they are discovering themselves
by asking various questions which can inhibit their curiosity. The educator takes the role of
channeling and persuading the children to build a positive contact and values with the exterior
world and the willingness to morally learn more through initiative.
B. Erikson’s theory can be useful in early childhood sitting when I applied as an assessment in the
pedagogic program persuading children to maturing and extroversion by expressing their own and
socialize with their environment including risks and interactions through interactive activities art and
hobbies. Also, recreation involving tasks like individual and associative or parallel please to build a
hands-on personality by learning with practice.
4. Kohlberg theory In the 1950s Kohlberg initiated a theory of moral development based on the research study that he entered to win children of different social ranks, different ages and from different cities invoking the dilemma situation about Heinz stealing the drug for his sick wife to assess the participants answer and categorize them into six stages to display preconventional moral reasoning.
A. It is important for Early Childhood educators to understand this theory, thanks to the aspects it
shows about children’s ability and awareness to acquire social values, to distinguish what is morally
good or bad as a behavior. It also, involves them to assimilate factual causes and behavior
consequences
that determine whether an individual deserves punishment or praise.
B. Dilemmas like Heinz could be given as examples to the children in early childhood settings to
assimilate preconventional moral reasoning and let them learn morally good and bad behaviors and
their consequences to help them learn values, implying that as a way for them to learn at the
individual level to avoid punishment resulting from Immoral behaviors and pursue recognition and
praise of teachers and fellows appreciating their good actions.
5. Bandura’s theory of social learning is a social observational learning that occurs by retaining/replicating behaviors seen in others.
A. The Bandura theory is important for Early Childhood Educators to understand that raising up
children and educating them relies also on what they see as behavior in people around them and
media that we could show them, and their interactions with other children, and also the behavior of
their families home.
B. The Bandura theory can be applied in a positive way in early childhood settings by making
caregivers and adults behave exemplary, involve children in non-violent activities, and emphasize
good influence.
6. To support Social Emotional Development, teachers should focus on behavior integrity in order to promote the well-being impacts on children’s emotions, and therefore, inspire positive initiative in them, and safe relational interaction with other children, their caregivers, their parents, and the members of society they could interact with along their growth and their lifetime. Caregivers and teachers should offer a good environment to toddlers and infants letting them build and actively get consciousness and manage their own social and emotional development as individuals. The teachers have the role to use pedagogy and interactive teaching to inspire and impregnate strong values and safe behavior in the children, by influencing them to think, act and positively take initiative with interest to their fellows, the adults and the environment they grow in.

What is Kohlberg’s theory of moral development?
Kohlbergs theory of moral development is more about how a person reacts to a situation. If they choose the right way or what they think is right morally.
As early childhood educators, why is it important to understand this theory? it is important to understand this theory because I feel like it gives you an understanding of why children choose the decisions they choose.
How can this theory be useful or applied in early childhood settings? this theory is useful because I feel like it gives you more or less of an understanding as to why the child makes the decision they decided to make.
What is Bandura’s theory of social learning? In Bandura’s theory of learning he tested how children react after they watch certain behaviors and the reaction to those said behaviors. In his testing it showed that children who were exposed to certain behaviors modeled those same behaviors.
As early childhood educators why is important to understand this theory ( think past aggression and other implications social learning or observational learning can have)? Its important to understand this theory because as early learning educators we model behaviors to the children in our care and we are in a sense showing them what to do and how to do it as they follow what we do as adults and caretakers.
How can the theory be useful or applied in early childhood settings? this theory can be useful in the early childhood setting because we as caregivers and teachers are role models to the children in our care and as this theory shows they do as we do so we have to make sure we are modeling positive behavior so they can repeat positive behavior.
What teachers can do to support social-emotional development in young children (include Erikson and Bandura and Kohlberg in your response)?There are many ways as teachers and caregivers that we can help support a Childs social and emotional development. three specific ways according to the three different theories are 1.
Erickson’s Theory: we have to support the children in our care as they go through these different stages in our care like trust; making sure your their when the infant needs you (wants to eat, wants attention)
Bandura’s Theory: We have to make sure we role model positive behavior. (kind of like monkey see monkey do)
Kohlberg Theory: with this theory as caregivers we learn about our children and how they view things. we have to make sure that the children in our care know that positive behavior is reinforced negative behavior is not and encourage positive behavior.
