What are the important developmental changes in emotions during the middle and late childhood years?
What will be an ideal response?
During the elementary school years, children show marked improvement in their ability to suppress or conceal negative emotional reactions. Children now sometimes intentionally hide their emotions. Although a boy may feel sad that a friend does not want to play with him, he may decide not to share those feelings with his parents. In this time frame, children also use self-initiated strategies for redirecting feelings. In the elementary school years, children reflect more about emotional experiences and develop strategies to cope with their emotional lives. Also in middle and late childhood, children develop a capacity for genuine empathy.
