Explain how cognitive development and social influences from parents and from the culture in which children live contribute to the development of emotional understanding

What will be an ideal response?

Expanding language skills enable parents to label and explain emotions.
Parents who use more emotionally descriptive language in talking with the child and parents who are warmer and tend to have children who use more emotion language.
Chinese and Chinese American children tend to show lower levels of emotional knowledge than European American children at the same age, perhaps because of cultural differences in which Asian parents view emotions as something that should be suppressed or expressed mainly in order to promote social harmony.
