Subject of this final work is to show the association of reading stories with children's socio – emotional development. Childs emotions are very strong and they change fast, therefore it's important to teach them to recognize and control. The Child shows the interdependence of his expression and emotional response to the environment very early. Children's developmental psychology monitors childs development from the beggining of his life. Changes in emotional communications, understanding yourself, knowledge about other people, and moral reasoning and behavior. Parents and educators play a very important role in stimulating the early linguistic development of the child. Indicators of the good emotional state of the child are children's ability to control a broad spectrum of emotional experiences and appropriate reactions in these emotional situations. Children who have mastered their emotions are considered emotinally competent. Fairy tales that help childeren are therapeutic stories are created for children and adults to help parents learn how to recognize children's emotions and how to properly respond to them. Every child experiences succes, reward and support in a different way. The importance of understanding the process of children's psycho-social development constantly poses on parents new challenges that sometimes can be difficult to cope with. One way to help children in situations that are stressful for them is to read stories together, especially those related to the problems and situations in which the child is currently located. Great attention should be paid to the child's temperament, and the proper system of praise and punishment. By early reading stories we teach children how they are not only a source of entertainment and enjoyment but are becoming very important in the moments of growing up. Stories teach up about patience, tolerance, acceptance of ourself and as who we are. Reading stories helps us to develop awareness about ourself and our own emotions.
