Early childhood experiences have a profound impact on what we call social-emotional development because children grow more rapidly during the first five years of life than during any other time. Social-emotional development and growth include the ability to form and sustain relationships; to experience, manage, and express emotions; and to explore and engage with the environment. Dr. Carole Myers of the UT College of Nursing speaks with Dr. Heather Sedges, associate professor and human development specialist in the Family and Consumer Sciences Department with UT Extension.
