Document Summary
Emotions: rapid appraisal of personal significance of situations. Without anxiety, you won"t do well because nothing will push you to do things well. Too much anxiety keeps you from being able to cope. Development of stranger anxiety; normal, disappears by around age 2. *different across cultures; in collectivist cultures, people do not like to stand out, but in individualist cultures, being called out can be a source of pride. Need adult instruction about when to feel them. When are caregiver is there to respond to distress, it is easier for the child to calm down. More difficult for an impulsive child to calm down. Certain things are normal in some periods of development but not others (ex. Temper tantrums are normal in toddlers, but not 10-12 years olds) Children must also learn to control what they communicate to others. Emotional display rules specify when, where, and how it is appropriate to express emotion.
