In this case a practitioner is a child care worker, not a medical practitioner.
The caregiver helps support the emotional development of children by creating a trusting and loving bond with the child. Through daily interactions the child will develop a bond to the caregiver and will trust that caregiver to help and guide them. The caregiver will help the child learn to be a friend, social cues and conflict resolution, how to appropriatly handle their emotions and realise that ALL emotions are ok it i how you express them that matters (such as when you are angry it is okay to cross your arms, to even stamp your foot but it is not okay to hit others or say mean things).
The educator role models appropriate emotional behaviour and also helps the child deal with and understand their feelings, providing language to express themselves. They know what they feel but they can not always verbalize it. This is vitally important for the educator to help children do. By relating a feeling back to themselves it helps give the child a name to a feeling an realize others feel the same way smetimes, creating empathy and sympathy. Such as a child fell and is crying the educator could say while consoling the child " I know that hurts, I cry sometimes too when I get hurt"
An example of something I done to deal with a couple childrens fear at halloween of monsters was read the book "Go away big green monster" and done a puppet with them where they got to put his face together and then take it apart. We then made our own monster story together and drew pictures of monsters. After we discussed them and we pointed out the silly things. Emotionally I gave the power back to the children, I acknowledged and validated their fear and I showed them what they can do when they are afraid as well as gave them an outlet to verbalize their fears and create their monsters. A few of the parents have said that since those activities have been done they will hear their child scream in a firm voice at bed time "GO AWAY YOU BIG MONSTER! and DON’T COME BACK until I say so!" That is an example of the practitioner helping support the childs emotional development.

Practitioner have to often play the role of consellor. Thereby they bridge the communication gap between parents and children. Also, as they are professionals, they are aware of others and can suggest people from their network. For example, due to difference in viewpoints on account of generation gap, the parents and kids could be suggeted to seek academic counselling by the practitioner. When the practitioner assumes the role of friend and guide, the kid may reveal disturbances like relationships with girlfriend/boyfriend to him that he may not feel confident to do with his family. In this case the practitioner can guide about sex education and such. Even in preschool level, practitioner may step in to investigate behavioural problem in kids- these may be other than austism, like may be marital discord at home, incest, being bullied, sibling rivalry, etc..
Practitioner is looked upon in society as not just a medical man but also one who has real solution to problems.
