1) What are the aspects of a baby’s social development? What are the aspects of a baby’s emotional development?
The importance my friend would need to know when she has been suggested by her babies teacher to create a socially and emotionally environment between her and her baby is by informing her that providing this skill can help her baby develop a positive environment. When responding to a baby need’s we are helping them understand the reality of our outside world and how to calm down on their own during an emotional experience (Darling-Bohlander, 2014). Responding to them in a positive way also helps babies accept their feelings of sadness when they are being dropped at daycare and they have realized that their family is leaving for the day. Babies learn to respect this concept when they are positively being respected by caregivers and parents (Elliot-Gonzalez Mena, 2011).

When babies are provided with a relationship that involves socially and emotionally characteristics it impacts personality where they would provide their friends with love and care (Wittmer, 2012).
3) What should infant teachers do to support a baby’s social-emotional development?
Teachers need to work on building these social and emotional relationships in order for babies to develop cognitively. Teachers play a big role being that they are taught these skills in school and what to do to build this skill. They would need to provide babies with a positive enforcement relationship that consist of trust and security (Elliot-Gonzalez Mena, 2011). When I say trust, what I mean is not force feeding a baby when the baby is not ready to eat. In this situation when a baby doesn’t want to eat you let them know you understand they aren’t hungry and that you would try again later. Respecting a child space and decision to situations like this is something to keep in mind when you are building a relationship with self-regulation.
