This article discusses why children tell a lie and how to help a child develop morality and responsibility for his or her actions. When viewed as part of a child's emotional and intellectual development, it is found that telling lies doesn't condemn a child to a life of betrayal or serious behavior problems.

Peer reviewedLuckey, Alicia J.; Fabes, Richard A. – Early Childhood Education Journal, 2005
Nonsocial play continues to be perceived as a behavior that is detrimental young children's development.

Martin, Carol Lynn; Fabes, Richard A.; Hanish, Laura D.; Hollenstein, Tom – Developmental Review, 2005
In this paper, we consider how concepts from dynamic systems (such as attractors, repellors, and self-organization) can be applied to the study of young children's peer relationships. We also consider how these concepts can be used to explore basic issues involving early peer processes. We use the dynamical systems approach called state space grid…

It is hard for many people to accept anger as part of a young child's range of feelings. Teachers work so hard to make children happy, and feel frustrated, even resentful, when they do not respond with 100 percent happiness all the time. Teachers know in their minds that anger is a normal emotion and that they, too, sometimes feel angry. However,…

(Contains 2…
