importance of emotional development
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
In a time where society foci are math, science driven in school, this book could not be more timely.The authors clearly illustrate the importance of emotional development in children as a precursor to learning, school-readiness, and acedemic success. This book argues the dependence of social competence in children on a solid foundation of emotion-centered instruction. Excellent read and call for reform in the agenda of early childhood education.
A wealth of informtion on emotion in the classroom setting.

This book came out just before the term Emotional Intelligence was popularized, but it covers the same sort of issues, with the exception of the brain research. It is a good compliment to Peter Salovey's book "Emotional Development and Emotional Intelligence."It is well written and fairly easy to read for an academic writing. It is very well supported with research findings. It presents a good model for developing an emotion centered curriculum.
