Parent’s perception and practices on socio-emotional development of 0-3 years old children

Abstract

A child's school adaptation and socialization in life massively relays on the 0-3 years of the child's life. In addition, to prevent emotional and behavioral issues in children the development of socio-emotional skills is crucial. To build up these skill sets, parents play a vital role along with other factors. However, the present busy lifestyle is pulling the parents back to spend quality time with their children. This qualitative research tries to find the perception of 0-3 years’ children from their parental point of observation. The result shows a positive perception of parental awareness towards the socio-emotional development of 0 to 3 years’ children of parents from Dhaka City. The study found a huge gap between awareness and practice. Further study can be done to figure out reasonable solutions and popularization regarding the socio-emotional development of 0 to 3 years’ children.
