Question 1 What is emotional regulation? When we learn to calm ourselves when we are in a stressful or emotional situation. It is developed from parent or caregivers who help to soothe babies and infants. By the age of two years old children, learn to express the way they feel by using spoken words this enables them to sooth themselves by developing cognitive and behavioural strategies to minimize and inhibit the concentration of an emotional reaction. These strategies allow us to provide appropriate behaviour in stressful situations. This is very important for social environments; if these strategies are not developed then it can have a great impact on children at childcare, school and later in life, (Tools of the Mind, 2015). Without these strategies child will find it hard to make friend. Have the understanding of sharing with other people and will develop bad behaviour and won’t cope in stressful situations. Question 2 Which of the social experiments do you think is the most relevant for the assessment of the development of emotional regulation during early childhood? Briefly justify your answer.

The short video CHILD OF OUR TIME 2004 (Livingstone maker 2000- present) uses a good experiment to show emotional regulation in early childhood; it was the disappointing gift experiment. This experiment is helpful to the study of emotional regulation because by the age of three (Windle, 2011) most children learn to use cognitive and behavioral strategies instead of their feelings (crying) so they proscription disappoint someone when getting an unwanted/ disliked gift. But not all children learn these strategies by the age of three. An example of this was when Jamie opened a gift he wasn’t happy with but he was still able to smile and say “thank you”. This shows that Jamie has the ability to use different ways t
