Chapter 8: social and personality development in early childhood. Agreed with freud about bodily control and parental relationships. Centered around toddlers mobility and desire for autonomy. New cognitive skills make him want to take initiative. Balance between new skills and desire for autonomy and parents want to protect and control the child. Social and emotional changes are a result of the increase of cognitive abilitiesespecially theory of mind. Preschoolers start to apply category to people such as nice and not nice. Social conventions- children respond to morals and right and wrong at 2 and 3. Piaget thinks children can understand difference between intentionswrong. Self concept is more complex so they have more control over their behavior. Personality and temperament go hand in hand. Emotional regulation- ability to control emotional states and behavior; temperament plays a role. Empathy- ability to identify with another person"s emotional state. Moral emotions- bad relationships= bad moral emotions.
