Understanding social, emotional and behavioural development is the
foundation for creating a successful learning environment in educational
settings. In order to teach and offer differentiated learning, the
teacher needs to consider ages and stages of emotional and behaviour
development, thus understanding how children learn and why they behave
the way they do. Studies have also researched the subject of child
development in the frame of developmental milestones and in addition
take into consideration, not only individual family circumstances, but
also various cultural factors that influence how education is viewed
worldwide.
