What do young children, as they grow from infancy to childhood, understand of others and of their social world? How does thisunderstanding change, and what influences its development?
The Beginnings of Social Understanding draws on detailed studies ofchildren within their families - their disputes with mother andsiblings, their empathy and cooperation, their pretend' storiesand questions about others, and their jokes' - to show vividly howchildren come to understand the social rules of the family and thefeelings, intentions and relationships of others.
Illustrating this case with the words of the children themselves, Judy Dunn argues that self-interest is an important force in theirsocial development and that children's emotional experiences andtheir moral discourse of the family contribute crucially to theirgrowing understanding of their social world.
