Can You Examples Of Emotional Development?

I have another comment as for a specific thing that promotes emotional development. When I was a kid I use to make straight A's but X's in self control with the teacher's remark that "Katie" is emotionally immature. That use to really bother me. I looked up everything I could to find an answer as to what emotional maturity was and how do you attain it. The only thing I ever found was a sort of strange reference about learning at an early age to control feelings such as fear, anger and frustration. The article said that children pattern themselves after their parents or other significant adult's behavior. The example they gave was that when a child is hurt, no matter how badly, the parent must never rush frantically to the child. The adult is supposed to calmly go up to the child reassuring them that they are fine before they even look at the injury. This encourages the child to focus on the reality of the situation and not the feelings of fear. The reality is often that they are not seriously hurt but just need some simple treatment like a bandaid. Even the worse injuries are not really all that painful. The thing is to get the child to focus on what you are going to do the fix the problem and not worry about what it might look like. Kids do freak over blood but adults need to reasure them that it is just their body's response to an injury and it will soon stop bleeding. The point is to teach the child to override the fear feelings and focus on what action needs to be taken. This is what a mature person does in any situation. They override their feelings of anger, fear, frustration. or even inadequacy and think through what they really need to do.
