“…Methods for measuring preschool children’s ability to label others’ emotions are lacking (Waliski & Carlson, 2008). These researchers developed a measurement tool that used situational cues to aid children in determining a specific emotion being expressed.…”

“…Many types of intervention methods designed to impact preschool children’s emotional development have been studied or investigated. Attempts to scaffold or build upon children’s emotional development through group instruction, dramatic play, art, biblio‐therapy (reading a book together written to teach a specific concept, such as empathy or sharing), fantasy, and a variety of other elements of preschool have been documented (Bredekamp & Copple, 1997; Saltz, Dixon, & Johnson, 1977; Waliski & Carlson, 2008). Waliski and Carlson (2008) found that intentional intervention during group work was successful in creating changes in children’s internalizing and externalizing behaviors.…”

Waliski and Carlson (2008) found that intentional intervention during group work was successful in creating changes in children’s internalizing and externalizing behaviors. Numerous other studies have shown that intentional interventions with preschoolers, such as reading a story in a group setting and acting it out in smaller groups through role play, reading times, art, and dramatic play, can increase children’s prosocial behaviors while decreasing negative externalizing behaviors (Benton‐Murray, 1994; Waliski & Carlson, 2008).…”

A scarcity of information exists, however, on the use of sensory play in enhancing preschoolers’ emotional development.…”

Implementing specific interventions during sensory play time to stimulate the emotional development of preschoolers’ at a Midwestern university Child Study Center was investigated. The constructs studied were (i) children’s ability to label the emotions expressed by other children, (ii) their ability to self‐regulate or control their impulses, and (iii) the frequency of their aggressive acts. A new instrument, the Expressed Emotion Identification Tool, which measures children’s ability to label the emotions of others and uses only pictorial stimuli is described. Measurement of changes in preschoolers’ self‐controlling behaviors, aggressiveness, and nonaggressive problem solving showed no statistically significant differences between experimental and control groups. Anecdotal data, however, show positive outcomes and indicate a need for further study to determine the benefits of using interventions during sensory play to aid in preschoolers’ emotional development.

“…The roots of antisocial behaviors go back to the early years of life (Arseneault et al, 2003;Campbell, 2002;Fox, Dunlap, & Powell, 2002;Wakschlag & Danis, 2004;Waliski & Carslon, 2008). Studies indicate that the behaviors of arguing, disobedience, and not sharing that appear in early childhood turn into fighting, lying, and stealing in the primary school years.…”
