EVALUATION OF EMOTION
What is emotion???
In psychology, there are many definitions of emotion but among of them the to measure definition by which emotion has been most detailed are:-
The first one is by WOODWORTH “EMOTION IS A STREET OF STATE OF BODY AND MIND”
According to p the definition we come to know that by emotion different type of mental and physical changes happen which are known only to the individual who is experiencing and emotion.
And another most known definition of emotion is by P.T.YOUNG
“EMOTION IS AN ACUTE DISTURBANCE OF THE ORGANISM AS A WHOLE PSYCHOLOGICAL IN ORGAN INVOLVING BEHAVIOUR CONSCIOUS EXPERIENCES AND UNICERAL FUNCTIONING”
by this, he means that emotion is a bothering condition which affects many types of psychological and physical functions of the entity
EVALUATION
if we evaluate both of the definition every definition emphasis emotional condition of the organism at different stages of child
HOW DOES DIFFERENT EMOTION OF PARENTS AFFECT CHILD’S EMOTION
as we know a child first sees their parents and most of his/her mother they are his/her first guide he/she tries to module their parents. Show the way his or her parents behave with others treat others to treat him/her also he also module all the things. And according to the definition of emotion, everyone behaves according to the emotion they feel so when parents behave positive the child will also learn the positive behaviour and if parents behave negatively the child will also learn a negative behaviour and will start developing negative emotion
for example:-
We know the four-measure parenting styles
- Authoritarian or Disciplinarian.
- Permissive or Indulgent.
- Uninvolved.
- Authoritative.
And if we do an experiment on the children’s of these four parenting styles kids, we will come to know that they have four different types of emotional development like if an authoritarian parent ask their child to do something and they do not do that properly or they miss behaves with their parents they will punish him or her for that. Buy this the child will develop and emotion of fear. On another hand, if permissive parents will behave like “I am both a parent and a friend’ in this we will find the kid will develop the emotion of fearlessness
How does the environment affect a child’s emotion?
MAKE YOUR HOUSE HOME FOR YOUR CHILDREN!
The environment is the second most important thing which affects the child’s behaviour.
What is the difference between a house and a home?
The houses are a build-up of concrete and the home is a build-up of emotion. The most important rules of making a house to a home are of the mother. We should build up a house for our children where they feel safe and all the positive energy exists around them.
As children grow this develop any kind of emotion and the most of that emotion of stress start growing in them and especially in teenagers so if the home environment is stressful it will lead the child to lots of stress which is not good for him or her physical and mental development
EFFECT OF SOCIAL MEDIA ON CHILD’S EMOTION
This is the era of social media special this year, everything is online even the schools/colleges the class is the work etc.
so this is the brighter side of the social media but there is another side of social media which is darker and much darker.
- When kids starting using social media used to build connections with other persons. They own Facebook Instagram account for this and because of this the competitive emotion develops in them I want to get more likes on their pages than others sometimes when they don’t get that much like they get very stressed and commit suicide. This mostly happens to teenagers
- And secondly due to social media and so many things an online child of every age start using mobile the watch cartoons and some other stuff like that but there are also many bad kinds of stuff on it and because the child likes to develop new things he gets attracted to them more than the good stuff
- Distant a lot of time with their phones because of that they can’t get that much connected to the people around them and day by day they started developing and emotion of aloneness
- One of the bad effects of social media on a child is also on their physical things like eyes, their body growth etc
After long research findings suggest that children who spend more than 3 hours on the phone have poor mental health which deletes their emotional and social development.
WHY SHOULD PARENTS NEVER TEACH THEIR CHILDREN TO SUPPRESS THEIR FEELINGS
in the society of ours where the child is always been taught by their parents not to express their emotion in front of anyone because of the so-called norms of society. like if you will cry the people will think that you are not strong enough you are weak you are not capable of doing anything but this is so wrong if you are crying it doesn’t mean that you are weak it means that you are strong enough to express your feelings. Parents should always teach their children not to suppress their feelings because of the suppression of feeling the kid become rigid and that if they express their feelings to others they will make fun of him/her. When they suppress their feeling whether it’s anger, sadness, frustration, sexual can make a bad impact and is not good for their growth.
MOST IMPORTANT EMOTIONS THAT PARENTS SHOULD TEACH THEIR CHILDREN
- Emotion according to their personality
We should always encourage every child the way they are but we should also try to develop different emotions on them according to their personalities
For example:-
If a child is too aggressive we should teach him to reduce it and develop love and affection. Similarly, if a child is full of fear do something we should try to instil fearlessness in him.
This can only happen when parents start talking to their children about what they are suffering from
- Sexual emotion in the child
The emotion of sex develops in the child because of the hormonal changes they face during the growing age. So we should make a comfortable and moment, especially for girl child so that they don’t hesitate sexual changes they are going through. The role of mother is very intensive taking care of her own child.
- Because of not talking to your child about sexual development it will lead them to stress this special happens at teenage.
- Sometimes when the child is not able to talk about these things to anyone they would be attracted to negative things.
- If the child is not comfortable to you about talking his/her emotion they will not be able to tell you if anyone is misbehaving with them especially the girl child.
- So we should make sure that we talked to the child about the hormonal changes they are going through you and try to guide them in the right direction
- The emotion of kindness helpfulness and respect
These are the three major emotions that we should teach our child it will help them to adjust in society and built a good society for the next generations. The emotion which the child starts developing during toddlers age. when they see their parents respecting their parents helping some helpless people being kind to them to others this start developing the emotion so parents should behave in a nice way because parents are like a model to them
We should teach our child how to control their emotion
Parents should also teach their child how to control their emotions. Because as we know that “Excess of everything is bad”just like that extremeness of any emotion is bad
So we should make our child understand not to develop one kind of emotion by teaching them how to control their emotions. Because it’s harmful to them and for the other also
For example:-
If a child has too much aggression and is angry and unable to vent his anger will make an active disturbance to their mind and then they can also harm their self and others too
DIFFERENT EMOTIONS OF THE CHILD AT DIFFERENT AGES
- Infants(0-2) = anger,sadness,happiness surprise,and fear
- Toddlers(2-6) = embarrassment, empathy,guilty etc (and a new big emotion) frustration
- Schooling age(6-12) = begin to understand their emotion better and we’ll be able to discuss them also develop sympathy and empathy for others
- Teenage (12-18) = due to hormonal changes teenagers have mood swings and frequently changed their temperament the range of their emotion is wider than schooling child and adults.
DURING THE DEVELOPMENT OF CHILDREN THINGS WHICH PARENTS SHOULD TAKE CARE OF MOST
- We should never compare our children to other children and not with their siblings too.
- We should never ask our children to be like anyone else instead of that we should convince them that they are the best as they are.
- When our child is angry or feeling irritated instead of shouting at them we should listen to them easily and ask them about their problem and try to solve it.
- We should appreciate them for the things they do.
- We should live friendly to our child so if they have any kind of problem they come to us and tell us about that even the way they are feeling and new emotion they are developing

If parents want their children to do better then they have to give importance to EQ not merely IQ. EQ is equally crucial to live a stable life. This is amazing….keep it up.
