Social and Emotional Development is one of the five central domains of the Head Start Early Learning Outcomes Framework (ELOF). It focuses on children's ability to create and sustain meaningful relationships with adults and other children. These resources explore the ways children learn to express, recognize, and manage their own emotions, as well as respond appropriately to others' emotions.
Other ELOF domains include Approaches to Learning; Language and Literacy; Cognition; and Perceptual, Motor, and Physical Development.
