Teaching Children Perspective Taking and Understanding Emotions
Children between three and five years old experience a significant development in perspective taking. While three-year-olds may not understand others' experiences, five-year-olds can. It is important to teach children how to consider others' perspectives outside of moments of distress through activities like reading books and discussing emotions. By teaching these skills early and in a calm environment, children can develop the ability to understand emotions and facial expressions more effectively.
