ABSTRACT
The excitement shown by children in the nursery school is usually delighted excitement, and is generally produced by excessive stimulation of a pleasing kind. Children vary among one another and from time to time in their expressions of excitement. Both younger and older children may show the restrained kind of behaviour in excitement, though it is more characteristic of the two-year-olds in the nursery school. Excitement in anticipation of a novel or familiar pleasurable event may also cause enuresis. One of the most frequent causes of excitement in the nursery school is noise or activity of other children. Increased general activity is another common manifestation of excitement. Another manifestation of excitement may be change in facial colour. Children occasionally show marked excitement over their own success. Interest in play materials may be so great as to cause excitement in a child. New children are often positively excited with interest in the different toys at school on the first few days.
