Emotional Maturity In Children

For children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), their emotional maturity level may be well below that of their non-ADD counterparts. Present study aimed at studying emotional maturity and adjustment in ADHD children. Emotional maturity means controlling your emotions rather than allowing your emotions to control. That does not mean we should hide or repress our emotions, though we can reduce their intensity. Research on the physiological aspects of emotion suggests that people everywhere are born with certain basic or primary emotions. Although psychologists differ somewhat in the emotions they consider to be primary, the list typically includes fear, anger, sadness, joy, surprise, disgust, and contempt.
