Document Summary
Children express wide array of emotions from infancy. Children communicate feelings, needs, and desires by means of these expressions and thereby, influence other people"s behaviour. Generally accompanied by some form of physiological arousal. Often communicated to others by some expression or action. Fear, joy, disgust, surprise, sadness, and interest, which emerge early in life and do not require introspection or self-reflection. Pride, shame, guilt, jealousy, embarrassment, and empathy, which emerge in the second year of life and depend on a sense of self and the awareness of other people"s reactions. They are a way that children let other people know how they feel. They are a window into children"s likes and dislikes and communicate their general views of the world. They are linked to children"s mental and physical health. Emotional expressions are innate and universal, rooted in human evolution, and based on anatomical structures. Facial expressions of basic emotions are the same in different cultures.
