At about this time: ages when emotions emerge. 6-9 months: fear of social events (strangers, separation from caregiver) 12 months: fear of unexpected sights and sounds. The earliest emotions (primary emotions) imager within the rst 6 months. At rst there is pleasure and pain. About 20% of babies cry excessively, de ned as more than three hours a day, for more than three days a week, for more than three weeks. Curiosity is evident in infants; respond to objects and experiences that are new but not too novel. Happiness is expressed by the social smile (at about 6 weeks) Social smile is a developmental milestone as it indicates that the infant is intentionally communicating with others.
