Supporting Infants’ and Toddlers’ Emotional Needs During Transitions
In this podcast, learn about the different kinds of transitions and the ways that responsive caregivers can help infants and toddlers learn to successfully navigate change.
Social and Emotional Development
Social and Emotional Development is one of the five central domains of the Head Start Early Learning Outcomes Framework (ELOF). It focuses on children's ability to create and sustain meaningful relationships with adults and other children. These resources explore the ways children learn to express, recognize, and manage their own emotions, as well as respond appropriately to others' emotions.
Other ELOF domains include Approaches to Learning; Language and Literacy; Cognition; and Perceptual, Motor, and Physical Development.
Daily Separations and Reunions
Daily separations and reunions are part of the fabric of relationships. In center-based and family child care programs, they provide opportunities to develop a young child's skill at making positive transitions.
