Abstract	When adults provide words for the emotions that they believe infants and toddlers are experiencing, it gives children the language to describe the feelings. Understanding one's own emotions as well as the emotions of others is called "emotional literacy" (CSEFEL 2008). Emotional literacy helps children build friendships and develop empathy--the ability to imagine how others are feeling--and respond appropriately. Teachers, family child care providers, and family members can create an environment that supports children's emotional learning. This article discusses how adults can support children's expanding emotional vocabulary--the words for emotions that children know--by making a Feeling Words list. (ERIC).
