Abstract
This chapter will extend on the theoretical perspective of the previous chapter and will explore the connection between perezhivanie and children’s development, in particular the development of social competence . The cultural context of social competence is critical to children’s successful engagement with their world and this is explored in the context of early childhood educational settings as pivotal to the development of personality. This is a cryptic concept for early childhood teachers, although the emphasis on social skills and development are often emphasised as the key plank of early year’s education.
