Among children, the acquisition and development of social competencies is closely linked to emotional development. Social and emotional competencies influence how children interact with others (e.g., parents, peers or teachers), how they deal with their emotions, and how they react to the events that happen around them.A growing body of empirical evidence is revealing the value of children’s social and emotional competencies for positive social behaviors, quality of interactions with peers, adjustment of stressful demands, school achievements, psychological well-being, and mental health. Therefore, investigating children’s social and emotional competencies becomes of practical importance to educators, school counselors, and parents. The current study aimed to identify the level of development of social and emotional competencies according to the age and gender of young school-age children. Based on the answers given by the parents at two screening scales, we obtained profiles of social and emotional competencies for 100 children (52 girls and 48 boys) aged between 6 and 8 years. Comparative data revealed significant differences depending on the children’s age, but not on their gender. We discuss these findings based on the characteristics of social and emotional development at an early age.
