PERKEMBANGAN BAHASA, SOSIAL, DAN EMOSI ANAK PADA USIA SEKOLAH DASAR
Abstract
Language, social, and emotional development are essential aspects of growth in elementary school-aged children. This article explores how these three domains interact and contribute to shaping children's communication abilities, social interactions, and emotional regulation. Language development at this stage is marked by a growing vocabulary, improved grammar, and enhanced reading and writing skills. Socially, children begin to form deeper friendships, learn to cooperate in groups, and understand social norms and roles across different environments. Emotionally, they develop greater awareness and control of their feelings, as well as empathy and self-confidence. Support from families, teachers, and the broader environment plays a crucial role in fostering these areas of development. When nurtured effectively, children are better equipped to communicate, adapt, and face future challenges with emotional and social
maturity.
