Social Emotional Development: A Booklet for Kansas Families

A child’s early development builds a foundation for later learning. The purpose of this booklet is to introduce families to some of the skills, called developmental milestones, that children develop and the order in which they happen. A sampling of ideas to help develop these skills is found in the following pages. Children develop differently, even in the same family. Two children, side by side, will not necessarily have the same skills at the same time. This booklet has been complied to provide information on the development of social and emotional skills in young children and is intended for use by Kansas families. This booklet weaves a common thread of understanding related to what social and emotional development looks like in early childhood. Suggested Use of This Booklet: • As a starting point for conversations about the development of children. • As a guide for families to help support their child’s development through suggested activities.
