Discussion Post: Social, Emotional and Moral Development
Directions:
ECE educators need to be aware of how social-emotional development is evident in learning settings, including an understanding of how the learning environment can affect this domain.
For your initial post, discuss the following:
• Refer to the Lesson Content and describe how the development of self-identity, self-esteem, and moral development are affected by the physical environment of the classroom.
o For example, what aspects of the classroom affect how children view themselves in each age group?
• Choose a situation that you have experienced, or think you may experience, in relation to a moral dilemma with children (where the child struggles with "right vs. wrong"). Using the information from the Lesson Content, describe how you would respond to the situation.
The response must include a reference list. Using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, double-space, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
