Emotions

This book deals with the complex question of what emotions are and how to deal with them. To manifest them or not to manifest them? Shout at the child to calm down, or let the child rage? Suppress feelings of loneliness or confide them in people close to you? Endure the hostility of a colleague, or put your resignation on the table?

Emotions play an important role in everyday life, as well as thinking, remembering or the desire to achieve something. They are nothing superfluous, annoying or childish: point to phenomena that have meaning for us in life. The development of emotions and their regulation is an exciting and fascinating process, and although dramatic developmental leaps occur primarily during childhood, the chapter of development does not end with childhood. The book discusses the regulation of emotions and their development from birth to old age, highlights critical moments, addresses some myths in the emotional education of children, and points out the important connections between emotions and human health.
