emotional development
Learning emotional regulation
Emotional development is the process by which a person learns to recognize, express, and regulate feelings.
In children, this includes developing attachment bonds, learning to name emotions, and gaining self-control: The toddler's tantrums are a normal part of emotional development.
The term appears most often in psychology and education contexts, though emotional development continues throughout life.
