Obviously these are not learned and everybody has them.<br /><br />I would see emotional literacy as the learning part where you put the right word to the feeling, learn the appropriate exprsssions and so forth.<br /><br />If they don't master them they could end up introverted but they could also end up other ways. Children who don't learn the socialized expression of anger can as adults end up in prison on charges of assault.<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />TonyTony Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07034697658099080220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289688322615470169.post-13062506722496816342011-02-24T13:13:58.456+08:002011-02-24T13:13:58.456+08:00Thank you, Tony, for such a thorough and prompt re...Thank you, Tony, for such a thorough and prompt reply. Your explanation tells me emotional literacy is learned from others; it’s not based on anything genetic. If children don’t master those first steps for whatever reasons, do you suppose they more likely to become introverts?KYLadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08386201292445132711noreply@blogger.com
