Document Summary

Chapter 4: the first two years psychosocial development: Smiling and laughing: social smile a smile evoked by a human face, normally first evident in infants about 6 weeks after birth. Infants worldwide express social joy, even laughter, between 2 and 4 months. Week 4: the emotion of empathy allows a young child to actually share another person"s feelings. Jealousy makes a child want what someone else has, whether that something is a toy or food or attention: disgust is a physical reaction to an unpleasant taste or smell. Self-awareness: self-awareness a person"s realization that he or she is a distinct individual whose body, mind, and actions are separate from those of other people. Brain and emotions: as the brain develops rapidly, not only do infants" cognitive abilities increase, but their emotional abilities increase as well, links between expressed emotions and brain growth are complex and are difficult to assess and describe.
